Investigation

In 1994, Dusseldorf public prosecutors began an investigation into assertions that Dieter had routed orders from Mannesmann's Rexroth subsidiary to Hydac, a company in which Dieter's family owns a majority stake. The accusations were raised by Der Spiegel magazine, which said Dieter forced Rexroth to pay Hydac prices that were above prevailing market rates for the equipment ordered.[4]

In 1996, Former Mannesmann AG chief executive Werner Dieter agreed to pay the equivalent of $674,000 demanded by Dusseldorf prosecutors as the price of their ending their investigation of him. The money was not an admission of guilt, but only paid to end the case[5].
