After careful consideration, Linglong ‘refutes’ allegations as ‘fake news’

, ,

Following several reports in the German press relating to earlier allegations of worker mistreatment during the construction of Linglong’s Zrenjanin, Serbia tyre factory, which has led to truckmaker MAN’s suspension of tyre deliveries from Linglong, Linglong International Europe d.o.o. representatives have responded with an official statement rebutting the allegations. The statement begins by highlighting that Linglong Europe is paying “great attention to all the allegations reflected in the press” before characterizing them as “old news” and even “fake news”: “we would like to emphasize that all allegations are old news and all the facts are twisted and crafted to make fake news to damage our reputation.”
