The professional investor Michael Voss has had enough.
As a shareholder in the country’s third largest brewery, Harboe in Skælskør, he has not only seen its investment fall dramatically in value in recent years.
He has also been witness to how the long-standing director Bernd Griese has spent the money on, among other gifts to the royal family and an investment in the local, bankrupt football club FC Vestsjælland.

on Tuesday could Ekstra Bladet then reveal that Bernd Griese also has sold two private millionvillaer to the listed brewery, where he so was the director. And Michael Voss is the straw that has got the cup to overflow.
‘This (investment in the royal family etc., ed.), in conjunction with the many exceptional transactions between himself, the private, and the brewery Harboe makes him, in my opinion, unfit to hold a board of directors or ledelsespost in a listed company, the pga. lack of sound judgement,’ writes Michael Voss in an email to Ekstra Bladet.

But the investor is not alone with its concern about ejendomshandlerne and Bernd Grieses confusion of its own and its economy.
– The kind of must a listed company make everything to avoid. If I were a shareholder, I would therefore ask the Harboe Brewery put everything back and prove that the purchase price was reasonable. Why should the brewery at all buy two villas?, says Ole Søeberg, chairman of the Danish Aktionærforening.
