Last year the Munich tabloid Abendzeitung questioned the legitimacy of the PhDs of two of [former CSU president of Bavaria, Edmund Stoiber’s] children – daughter Veronica’s doctorate in law from the University of Konstanz, and son Dominic’s treatise on politics from the University of Innsbruck. Veronica was subsequently stripped of her PhD, according to Spiegel Magazine.
This year Spiegel reported Dominic was being investigated over allegations he’d plagiarised his thesis – a dissertation on the work of his father. Dominic has reportedly been given the red carpet treatment in his own career in the CSU.
