Fired Mercedes employee destroyed 50 minivans at the company's Spanish plant (PHOTOS)
The 38-year-old Spaniard was so offended by the dismissal from the Mercedes-Benz plant in the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz that he burst into the territory of the enterprise at night and damaged 50 new Vito and V-Class vans there.
According to the publication Periodismo del Motor, for his atrocities, the man stole a front-end loader and drove it 21 km to the factory.
The Spaniard easily broke through the sliding gate with a construction machine, then he headed to the finished product site, where he dealt with innocent cars. Then he tried to break into the shops - the man wanted to damage the conveyor line of the enterprise, but at that moment he was detained.
Material damage exceeded € 2 million (= 179 million rubles). Considering that the basic version of the V-Class in Europe costs from € 29,000, this amount seems quite plausible.
It is noted that the incident occurred on the night of December 30 to 31 - the security of the enterprise was taken by surprise.
Here you need to take into account the context of the situation. Mercedes-Benz recently launched an optimization program at its Spanish plant with plans to lay off 10-15% of the staff. This became possible thanks to the introduction of modern technology, including an increase in the number of robots. Probably, they were the ones the angry Spaniard wanted to damage: in this case, the plant would have to use the labor of "surplus" workers for several more weeks.
The man was arrested by the police. A case was opened against him.
The Mercedes-Benz plant in Vitoria-Gasteiz, the capital of the Basque Country, is the largest production facility in the region, employing 5,000 people. The work of another 40 thousand people at related enterprises is connected with it.
