Former Atomic Employee Allegedly Steals 1,900 Pairs of Skis

20th August 2024

The accused is a 57 year old man with an accomplice who allegedly ran a scheme to siphon off the high-value equipment from the company’s Altenmarkt facility.

According to authorities he was responsible for disposing of skis with minor defects, but instead he is accused of diverting them for personal gain.

It is alleged that he sold the stolen skis for around €50 a pair, a fraction of their retail price.

It is thought he accumulated a substantial profit over several years.

A raid on the suspect’s home uncovered approximately 300 pairs of ‘stolen’ skis, suggesting a vast network of buyers for the skis.
