Taxi-München eG in crisis: Conflicts of interest and allegations of fraud burden the taxi industry
Specifically, the criticism concerns the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Sezai Curuk, as well as the Supervisory Board members Elias Ghulam and Hüseyin Bayram. They are accused of actively participating in mediation through Uber and Bolt with their vehicles. The board members of Taxi-München eG, Thomas Kroker and Christian Nothhaft, see this as a clear conflict of interest.
“Anyone who holds responsibility in a body of the cooperative cannot simultaneously collaborate with the strongest competitor,” argued the two board members.
In addition to the general criticism of the cooperation with Uber and Bolt, another supervisory board member was confronted with serious allegations: Elias Ghulam is said to have posed as the managing director of the Süddeutsche Zeitung during the 2024 supervisory board election—a statement that has since proven to be false. Kroker and Nothhaft regard this as "fraudulent advantage-taking".
Damage to the Reputation of the Taxi Industry
The incidents raise fundamental questions about the future of the cooperative. While the traditional taxi industry is fighting for market share, platforms like Uber and Bolt are steadily gaining influence. The fact that members of the supervisory board are apparently now part of this development themselves is a cause for concern in the industry. Similar cases have already caused dissatisfaction in the past. In Berlin and Hamburg, taxi companies accused colleagues of participating in the competition while simultaneously benefiting from the advantages of the cooperatives.
In Munich, the board has now responded with a clear demand: The affected supervisory board members should resign from their positions. It remains to be seen whether they will comply with this request. What is clear, however, is that the discussion about the future of the taxi industry and its battle against platform operators in Munich gains new urgency with this affair.
