Christian Horner Allegations Appeal Dismissed by Red Bull [Video]

An appeal of a Red Bull employee who accused Christian Horner, head of the company’s Formula 1 (F1) racing team, of inappropriate conduct was dismissed by the energy drink firm on Thursday.

The employee’s complaint was first dismissed last March when it was found to be without merit. Since then, the employee has been suspended from the company with pay. Red Bull did not comment on Thursday about the employee’s current status at the company.

Details of the allegations have never been made public, and Horner has denied any wrongdoing.

Red Bull said on Thursday that the employee’s initial complaint was “dealt with through the company’s grievance procedure” by an independent counsel. After the employee appealed, a second investigation was conducted by a second independent counsel.

“All stages of the appeal process have now been concluded with the final outcome that the appeal is not upheld,” Red Bull said.
