Interesting that nothing has been found from Gembala in several months now!

you need to misspell a bit more, though ! For realism !

Any updates?

Think I saw him pushing a shopping cart and trying to fk a garbage can down by the beach. Could have been someone else, though.

He looks just like Martina Navratilova, and a little like Gary Busey, so you may have seen him. Or it might have been a bum.

First came reports that the authorities had raided the Gemballa headquarters and seized the cars on the premises. Now further reports indicate that shortly before his disappearance, Uwe set up a second company with his 79-year-old mother as the sole shareholder, and granted his wife power of attorney to declare the principle company insolvent. The plot keeps thickening, and we doubt this will be the last we've heard of Gemballa and his trouble with the law.

If he came to any harm, he would have been found long ago.

He is hiding from something. The law.... or something.

See my post #30 upthread....

[legion]

Maybe he found a way to get out with most of his money?

[Z-man]

Hmm - I wonder if there were any Uwe sightings in the World Cup Stadium...

Uwe Gemballa — who ran a company featuring Porsche upgrades and disappeared soon after arriving in South Africa five months ago — has been found dead, shot execution-style in the head.

Well this sucks.

[Joeaksa]

Sad to see.

RIP Uwe.

[slow&rusty]

Sad to see he got caught up in some awful corruption and some really terrible money laundering crimes. I always admired him and his products in the '80s. RIP

Article reads like a plot to an 80's Miami Vice episode.

Rip Uwe.

None of this has been proven. Lets just let him RIP and let the LE guys work the matter out. It hopefully will come out now that the body has been found.
