Allegations of False Advertisement and Exploitation
In March 2021, Kliemann faced accusations of false advertisement and exploitation from former employees of his clothing line.
The allegations stemmed from the production of a line of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kliemann claimed the masks were made in his own factory in Portugal, but former employees alleged that the masks were actually sourced from China and sold at inflated prices.
Response from Kliemann and Investigation
Kliemann initially denied the allegations but later admitted that some of the masks were sourced from China. However, he claimed that he had been misled by his suppliers and that he had not intentionally deceived his customers.
Public outrage over the allegations prompted an investigation by the German competition authority, which is ongoing. In addition, several lawsuits have been filed against Kliemann by former employees and customers.

The allegations have significantly damaged Kliemann's reputation and career.
Several major brands have terminated their partnerships with him, and his social media following has declined. He has also been dropped from several upcoming projects.
Legal Implications
If found guilty of false advertisement or exploitation, Kliemann could face significant fines or even imprisonment.
The ongoing investigation and lawsuits will determine the outcome of the case and the potential legal consequences for Kliemann.
