Babygate: Porsche CEO's hotel room bugged with baby monitor
It's far too early to come up with suitable jokes to make, so we'll just give you the facts. According to Germany's Der Spiegel magazine, Police are investigating a case of corporate eavesdropping in the form of a baby monitor that was found in the hotel room of Porsche CEO, Wendelin Wiedeking. Wiedeking was in Wolfsburg, Germany visiting Volkswagen headquarters for a board meeting when a security firm found the monitor behind a sofa in the CEO's room. An investigation is underway, however, it deserves noting that the alleged spying took place in November of last year and that Der Spiegel isn't citing any specific sources for their story.[Source: Forbes]

I think FAR more interesting than the baby monitor is the fact that he's having his room pre-swept for bugs by a private security team.
Clearly, in this case, whoever was trying to spy on him was some cut-rate hack. Probably hired by Chris Bangle...

I understand Porsche/VW boss Ferry Piech is currently unhappy with Dr. Wiedeking. Hint, hint.
