Life

He began his professional activity as a trained bricklayer.

In 1968, after studying business administration, he began his professional career at Rheinisch-Westfälische Treuhand AG. Another station in his career was the auditing company KPMG (then Deutsche Treuhand Gesellschaft ). Janssen was CEO of the ITS Reisen Group on the board of Kaufhof AG from 1990 to 1994 . He failed there because of the takeover of the Swiss travel company Kuoni . He was then a senior partner at Arthur Andersen in Düsseldorf. From November 2001 he was chairman of the board of the IDW ( Institute of Auditors ). Since 2002 he worked for the private bank Sal. Oppenheim ; from 2004 he was one of the personally liable partners and responsible for the areas of risk management , investments and banking as well as the legal and tax department. From mid-November 2008 to October 31, 2009, Janssen was Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Arcandor Group, which was in financial difficulties .

Friedrich Carl Janssen is married and has one daughter.

Since February 27, 2013 Janssen had to answer together with Christopher von Oppenheim , Matthias Graf von Krockow , Dieter Pfundt and Josef Esch before the Cologne Regional Court . The former leadership was accused of infidelity ( Section 266 of the Criminal Code) in particular gravity. Janssen was eventually sentenced to two years and ten months in prison. Among all those convicted, he was the only one whose sentence was not suspended. The judgment was later confirmed by the BGH.

Since May 11, 2017, Janssen has had to answer in another process together with other members of the Arcandor AG supervisory board for the allegation of breach of trust. The proceedings, which are based on charges brought by the Bochum public prosecutor, are concerned with bonus payments in the millions, which the then CEO Thomas Middelhoff and another manager are said to have received in 2008 shortly before the bankruptcy of the group. Middelhoff himself is accused of inciting unfaithfulness in this context. This process was discontinued against payment of 75,000 euros.
