Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, is embroiled in a legal battle after filing a criminal complaint against anonymous whistleblowers who accused him of misconduct. The news comes as the Financial Times reports on both the complaint and an ongoing investigation by the WEF into these allegations.

The investigation, initiated in April, followed a whistleblower letter that emerged shortly after the 87-year-old Schwab announced his resignation as chairman without providing a reason. This timing has sparked further speculation surrounding the accusations and Schwab's decision to step down.

As the story unfolds, the World Economic Forum has yet to respond to requests for comments from major news outlets such as Reuters. Meanwhile, efforts to reach Schwab for further statements have been unsuccessful, leaving many questions unanswered.
