Damn: Uwe Gemballa found murdered in S. Africa

[Jon325i]

He went missing back in February.....looks like shading business dealings and associates cost him his life. Truly sad. His works as a high-end car tuner will be remembered. RIP Uwe.

Life lesson: Don't get involved in sketchy shit.

Wow... Gemballa makes some nice Porsches

I remember reading in Road and Track about him going missing. They don't state it here, but his business partner from the Czech republic was arrested by Interpol for a ton of crimes.

Word here is that he got himself kidnapped, but something went wrong and his dealings with Lolly Jackson (one of SA's biggest smut peddlers and classic/exotic car collector, who was also murdered) got him murdered.

How true this is who knows! One thing is for sure over the past 5 years many of our high profile criminal minds seem to be getting offed. Almost like a mafia territory battle.

Not like I'm complaining, gets the scum off the streets for good!
