欧洲车企新年面临老问题

    前福特欧洲CEO休妻藏富

    因在离婚协议中隐匿财产，曾任福特欧洲公司总裁和首席执行官的大卫•施维德日前被英国法官判处入狱两年。施维德现年67岁，2004年，在与其他高管发生多次龃龉后，他被迫离任。作家布莱斯•霍夫曼曾将他描绘为“讨厌的英国佬”和“叼雪茄的铁腕人物”。据英国《每日邮报》（Daily Mail）称，前施维德夫人曾雇佣私家侦探和法务会计追踪她丈夫的公开财富，直至查到他开在瑞士的户头。而在庭上，施维德却向法庭陈述称，他“实际上身无分文”，因为为第三次婚姻埋单，为女儿支付教育费用和大学学费，以及保养他在巴哈马的海滨房产，已掏空了他的腰包。（财富中文网）

    A former Ford Europe CEO disgraced

    David Thursfield, onetime chairman and CEO of Ford Europe, was sentenced to two years in jail by a U.K. judge for failing to disclose his hidden wealth in a divorce settlement. Thursfield, now 67, left Ford in 2004 after numerous clashes with other executives. Author Bryce Hoffman has described him as an "unlikable Brit" and "an iron fisted cigar chomper." According to Britain's Daily Mail, the former Mrs. Thursfield hired private detectives and a forensic accountant to track her husband's alleged wealth to a bank account in Switzerland. For his part, Thursfield told the court he was "virtually penniless" after paying for his third wedding, school and university fees for his daughter, and the upkeep on his waterfront property in the Bahamas.
