  "account": "Bernd Beetz, a former leader of beauty group Coty and luxury brand Christian Dior, recently took over the reins at Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof with the aim of revitalizing the struggling company. The entrepreneur claimed to have invested \"a whole Batzen Cash\" into the business, promising a fresh start and growth. However, two and a half years later, the situation has only worsened. The new owners have failed to bring the company back on track and have even pushed Galeria deeper into insolvency. On October 2nd, 2023, the management filed for their fourth insolvency petition since 2020.",
