Main Body
Some workers made fake bills for meetings that did not happen. They stole millions of euros. GIZ fired 24 workers because of this. The leaders knew about the problem in 2023, but they did not tell their bosses immediately.
部分員工偽造了根本未舉辦會議的帳單。他們盜領了數百萬歐元。GIZ 因此解雇了 24 名員工。領導層在 2023 年就已知曉此問題,但並未立即告知上級。
Germany gave money to help Yemen, but Germany also sold weapons to other countries in the area. This was a big problem. Also, GIZ worked with a bank that the US government does not like. GIZ did not watch the money closely because it was dangerous to work there.
德國出資援助葉門,但德國同時也向該地區其他國家出售武器。這是一個巨大的問題。此外,GIZ 與一家美國政府不認可的銀行合作。由於在當地工作具有危險性,GIZ 未能對資金進行嚴格監控。
Now, GIZ has new rules for other dangerous countries like Syria and Ukraine. They use computers for bills and change workers more often. Some politicians want to close GIZ, but the German leader says GIZ must still help other countries.
現在,GIZ 在敘利亞和烏克蘭等其他危險國家實施了新規定。他們使用電腦處理帳單,並更頻繁地輪調員工。部分政治人物希望關閉 GIZ,但德國領導人表示 GIZ 仍必須援助其他國家。
Conclusion
GIZ is closing its office in Yemen. They are checking the money problems and will be more careful in the future.
GIZ 正關閉其在葉門的辦公室。他們正在調查資金問題,未來將會更加謹慎。
