Life and work
Jürgen Morlok passed his Abitur in Ettlingen in 1966 and then studied politics and economics at the Free University of Berlin and the University of Karlsruhe .

Morlok is an independent management consultant and member of the administrative and supervisory boards of several domestic and foreign companies.
In early 1994 Morlok became the spokesman for FlowTex , which was fraudulently trading in horizontal drilling machines. In the period from 1994 to 1999, there was a loss of almost five billion D-Marks, making it the worst case of white-collar crime in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany. Morlok was accused of primarily serving as a "door opener" to political circles and awarding public contracts. Although he is said to have been the "right hand man" of the main culprit Manfred Schmider for six years, he remained unmolested by prosecution. Morlok always denied complicity.
Since March 2006 Morlok has been a professor at the private institution Karlshochschule International University .
