[mknight]

He took a picture during a Skoda internal business presentation where it explicitly said that it's not allowed to take pictures and posted it on social media (Instagram I think?)

On the picture you could see a not yet revealed Skoda model (Scala) and more importantly financial/growth goals for next few years. The second part is actually much more important as it has direct impact on the stock market. Someone could make or loose a lot of money based on that. In this particular case I think the growth was less than generally expected. (EDIT: There are no numbers on the scale, but the main point is that profit is much reduced due to WLTP, electrification and some plans in India)

After that he was basically kicked immediately. Hard to argue about that.

Hypothetically if someone he knew made a lot of money based on the info he could even have faced criminal charges. Personally I think he was just showing off (by showing the new Skoda model that was in front of the charts).

EDIT: Here's the pic:
