The German broadcaster’s report describes Globus as the Russian subsidiary, or division, of the supermarket chain and reports that Schröder is joining its supervisory body.
The news comes against the backdrop of a measure that, according to Tagesschau, Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly adopted a few days earlier: placing foreign companies operating in Russia, including Metro, under compulsory state management.
The timing reference concerns the context reported by the outlet and does not make it possible to establish the exact date of Schröder’s appointment. Tagesschau does not specify the formal date of any entry onto the board.
The reported role thus links a former head of the German government to the governance of a Russian commercial operation, while the case is presented alongside measures adopted by Moscow against certain foreign companies.
The available information does not include the full legal name of Globus’s Russian company: the entity is referred to only as the chain’s Russian subsidiary or division.
The report on the appointment comes from Tagesschau; the material provided does not include independent confirmation from another news organization.
