New Jersey Home of Bayer Executive: Authorities open up arson probes

Parsippany, NJ – Several federal and state authorities examine a possible attempt at arson in the New Jersey house of a manager of the global pharmaceutical Bavarian, said the authorities.

At the beginning of this week, Morris County's public prosecutor said that a fire was reported on March 4 at 7:30 a.m. in an occupied residence in the Madison district. The suburban community is located about 15 miles west of Newark, New Jersey.

The public prosecutor shared the Morristown Daily Record, part of the USA Today Network, that Madison reacted firefighters to the incident and that the fire was quickly deleted. No significant damage to property or injuries were reported.

The public prosecutor refused to identify the residents of the house and quoted an “active and ongoing” arson. Nicole Hayes, spokeswoman for Bayer, confirmed to the daily recording that an incident took place in the “private house of one of the US leaders from Bayer”, and added that the “family is safe and unsurely”.

“The security of our employees is of great importance for Bayer,” said Hayes. “The incident is actively examined. The company works in full with the investigation. We appreciate the quick reaction of the local law enforcement authorities.”

Several agencies, including the arson/environmental crime in Morris County, the CSI unit of the Sheriff by Morris County, the New Jersey State Fire Marshals Office K-9, the New Jersey Transit Police, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department, and the police department of the New York city examine the incident as possible Florson.

On Thursday, the NBC News and CNN public prosecutor announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation also helps with the investigation. The incident was first reported by Yahoo Finance last Friday.

What is Bayer?

Bayer, an international company for pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, was founded in Germany in 1863. The company initially focused on the production and sale of synthetic dyes, according to the Bayer website.

It is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies today and known for making prescription medication and other consumer health products such as aspirin, Alka-Seltzer, Claritin and Aleve.

Bayer consolidated its US operations in 2013 and opened a new headquarters of 250 million US dollars in the Whippany Section of Hannover Township, New Jersey. The former governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, who housed a business incentive scholarship of 35.1 million US dollars for the company in the state, took part in the opening.

The company has been examined intensively in recent years after Roundup took over the Agrochemical Company Monsanto in 2018 as part of the 63 billion dollars. Roundup is a popular residential and commercial bicide that is widespread by landscapes and agricultural workers.

Last Friday, Reuters reported that Bayer informed us of the legislator that it could limit Roundup's sales if it does not receive more legal protection against product liability disputes.

The company has suspended thousands of lawsuits in which the victims developed the victims a form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma from exposure to glyphosate, which according to Reuters was the active ingredient in Roundup for home use by 2023.

Bayer paid around 10 billion US dollars to pay controversial claims. Around 67,000 cases are pending, for which the group has provided legal provisions of 5.9 billion US dollars.

The incident follows increased security measures for companies

The incident of the past week takes place in the middle of increased security measures and social media, which are aimed at the health insurance industry and the America of companies. The authorities and companies feared potential attacks on the managers of industries after the CEO of Unitedhealthcare shot Brian Thompson in December.

The 50 -year -old Thompson was shot in front of a hotel in New York City on the way to an annual investor conference. The 26 -year -old Luigi Mangione was arrested after a massive search and will face state charges for murder as a terrorist act. He was not guilty in December.

The shootout triggered contempt towards health insurers with people on social media who shared their complaints about refused claims and complaints about the perceived greed in the industry. Immediately after the incident, videos that were published online showed with the names and faces of other managers of companies “Wanted” in New York.

Thompson's death prompted industry colleagues, biographies and photos of top executives to remove from their websites. Some companies also closed offices or canceled personal events.

“It was an eye opening experience for many CEOs. … Most of them think anonymously. Many of them, they go to work or simply jump into a taxi,” said Matthew Peters, Vice President for Protective Services at Security Provider Guidepost Solutions, previously compared to USA today.
