Life

Burkei was partner and program manager of the media company CAMP TV , which among other things produced the local window Bayern Journal on Sat.1 and RTL . In 2004, the son of civil engineer August Burkei was accused of having transferred West Net AG, which he owned until the end of 2003, to a person from the milieu of so-called corporate undertakers. Immediately after the takeover, the entire management board was relocated to France and the creditors could no longer reach them. Six-digit bad debts were the result. In 2005, Burkei and CAMP TV hit the headlines because of surreptitious advertising on German television, which the Bavarian State Center for New Media did not object to.

From 2000 to 2004 he was treasurer of the CSU district association in Munich.

In 1998/1999 he was president of the regional league team VfB Leipzig . Since May 2002 he sat on the supervisory board of TSV 1860 Munich , from March 2006 to March 2007 he was vice president and treasurer of the association.

During the attacks in Mumbai , Burkei stayed as a tourist at the Taj Mahal Hotel . There he tried to escape over the facade and was seriously injured in a fall on the canopy. He died on the way to the hospital. His girlfriend survived injured.
