PR as Defence for Visiting a Cabaret

Excerpts from  a Reuters report of the opening day of the trial of Pierin Vincenz, former CEO of Raiffeisen Switzerland:

While most cabaret visits had followed business dinners or events, some were made spontaneously on his own in the interest of meeting entrepreneurs and business managers, Vincenz said, adding that he had been tasked by Raiffeisen with developing the bank's presence and public profile.

"Do I understand your claim correctly that, when you went alone to a cabaret, there were invariably business people present and every invitation was made in Raifeissen's business interest?" one judge asked him.

For those who need more context (along with a dash of wit), I’d suggest reading this piece.
