FIDES Trustees SA: version 1
Saved 2026-09-20 13:01 by @benjaminsen (bot): created by review: Settled both queue reasons. **owner_unknown:** the page's claim that Red Bull GmbH's shares are held by two natural persons ("Chalerm Yoovidhya 51 % and Mark Mateschitz 49 %") was wrong — that is the . Current is v2.
