BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG: Queixa criminal apresentada em Berlim contra Elon Musk e o Twitter por possível fraude em detrimento dos utilizadores

BERLIN, May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG informa hoje que foi apresentada uma queixa-crime contra Elon Musk no Ministério Público de Berlim, número de processo: 253 UJs 1012/23, alegando que Musk cobrou os cartões de crédito dos utilizadores do Twitter, mas suspendeu as contas verificadas do Twitter sem dar qualquer motivo.

“O bloqueio de contas de utilizadores está na ordem do dia no Twitter, mas o facto de depois cobrarem constantemente os cartões de crédito dos utilizadores torna o assunto explosivo e está actualmente a ocupar o Ministério Público de Berlim (República Federal da Alemanha). Em todo o caso, coloca-se a questão de saber até que ponto se pode conceder poder a um meio de comunicação como o Twitter e quando é que as autoridades de controlo devem intervir para proteger os utilizadores do Twitter.”

Aliás, esta não é a primeira vez que Elon Musk é investigado, já que o CEO da Tesla, Elon Musk, também é actualmente objecto de um processo judicial contra investidores. A ação judicial tem a ver com os tweets de Musk em agosto de 2018, anunciando prematuramente que queria tirar a empresa de carros elétricos do mercado de ações e que tinha garantido financiamento para o fazer. Mais tarde, verificou-se que não havia compromissos firmes por parte dos investidores.

“Elon Musk mentiu”, disse um advogado dos queixosos. O juiz norte-americano Edward Chen (juiz do Tribunal Distrital dos Estados Unidos para o Distrito Norte da Califórnia) já tinha considerado em 2022 que as declarações de Musk nos tweets não eram verdadeiras.

“Continuaremos a acompanhar o caso de perto e a relatar novos desenvolvimentos à medida que novas informações estiverem disponíveis. Resta saber como se desenvolverão as acusações criminais contra Elon Musk e o Twitter e quais serão as consequências.”

De um ponto de vista factual, é de notar que, de acordo com o artigo 48.º da Carta dos Direitos Fundamentais da União Europeia, a presunção de inocência aplica-se aos arguidos e acusados, o que também se deve aplicar no caso das acusações criminais contra Elon Musk por “alegada fraude em detrimento dos utilizadores do Twitter”.

Berliner Tageszeitung : Plainte pénale à Berlin contre Elon Musk et Twitter pour une possible fraude au détriment des utilisateurs

BERLIN, 31 mai 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Le BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG rapporte aujourd’hui qu’une plainte pénale a été déposée auprès du parquet de Berlin contre Elon Musk, numéro de dossier : 253 UJs 1012/23, affirmant que Musk a débité les cartes de crédit d’utilisateurs de Twitter, mais a bloqué les comptes Twitter vérifiés sans donner de raisons.

“Le blocage de comptes d’utilisateurs est monnaie courante chez Twitter, mais le fait qu’ils débitent ensuite constamment les cartes de crédit des utilisateurs rend l’affaire explosive et occupe actuellement le parquet de Berlin (République fédérale d’Allemagne). Dans tous les cas, la question se pose de savoir quel pouvoir peut être accordé à un média comme Twitter et quand les autorités de surveillance devraient intervenir pour protéger les utilisateurs de Twitter”.

Ce n’est d’ailleurs pas la première fois qu’Elon Musk fait l’objet d’une enquête, puisque le CEO de Tesla, Elon Musk, fait également actuellement l’objet d’une plainte d’investisseurs. La plainte porte sur les tweets de Musk en août 2018 annonçant prématurément qu’il voulait retirer l’entreprise de voitures électriques de la bourse et qu’il avait assuré le financement pour cela. Il s’est avéré par la suite qu’il n’y avait pas d’engagements fermes de la part des investisseurs.

“Elon Musk a menti”, a déclaré un avocat des plaignantes. Le juge américain Edward Chen (juge du United States District Court for the Northern District of California) avait déjà constaté en 2022 que les déclarations de Musk dans les tweets ne correspondaient pas à la vérité.

“Nous continuerons à suivre l’affaire de près et rendrons compte des nouveaux développements dès que de nouvelles informations seront disponibles. Il reste à voir comment les accusations pénales portées contre Elon Musk et Twitter vont évoluer et quelles conséquences pourraient en découler.”

Sur le plan factuel, il convient de noter que, conformément à l’article 48 de la Charte des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne, les accusés et les prévenus bénéficient de la présomption d’innocence, qui doit également s’appliquer dans le cas de la plainte pénale déposée contre Elon Musk pour “fraude présumée au détriment des utilisateurs de Twitter”.

UPDATE – Berliner Tageszeitung: Criminal complaint in Berlin, Germany, against Elon Musk and Twitter for possible fraud to the detriment of users

Berliner Tageszeitung: Criminal complaint in Berlin, Germany, against Elon Musk and Twitter for possible fraud to the detriment of users

BERLIN, May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG reports today that a criminal complaint has been filed against Elon Musk with the Berlin public prosecutor’s office, file number: 253 UJs 1012/23, alleging that Musk charged Twitter users’ credit cards but suspended verified Twitter accounts without giving any reason.

“Blocking user accounts is a daily occurrence at Twitter, but the fact that they then continuously charge money to users’ credit cards makes the matter explosive and is currently occupying the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office (Federal Republic of Germany). In any case, the question arises as to how much power a medium like Twitter can be granted at all and when the regulatory authorities should intervene to protect Twitter users.”

Incidentally, this is not the first time Elon Musk has been investigated, as there is also currently an investor lawsuit against Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The lawsuit is about Musk’s tweets in August 2018 with the premature announcement that he wanted to take the electric car company off the stock market and had secured the financing to do so. It later emerged that there were no firm commitments from investors.

“Elon Musk lied,” said a lawyer for the plaintiffs.

US Judge Edward Chen (Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California) had already found in the 2022 trial that Musk’s statements in the tweets had not been true.

“We will continue to monitor the case closely and report further developments as new information becomes available. It remains to be seen how the criminal charges against Elon Musk and Twitter will develop and what the consequences might be.”

From a factual point of view, it should be noted that according to Article 48 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the presumption of innocence applies to defendants and accused persons, which must also apply in the case of the criminal charges against Elon Musk for “suspected fraud to the detriment of Twitter users”.
