Ministry checks whether Lufthansa subsidiary has made maintenance errors
Following the dangerous crash landing of a government aircraft in Berlin-Schönefeld earlier this week, Federal Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen is investigating whether there are systemic problems with the maintenance of the so-called White Fleet by a Lufthansa subsidiary. As early as Wednesday, General Flight Safety was therefore instructed to investigate the Tuesday accident as well as several other incidents of the past months.
The investigation by the chief flight investigator of the Bundeswehr is concerned with the question of whether the external maintenance of government jets was carried out with the necessary care. The investigators already suspect that the massive problems of a "Global 5000" government aircraft on Tuesday were caused by incorrect wiring of the spoilers on the wings of the jet.
Since the business jet came directly from Lufthansa Bombardier Aviation Services' maintenance operations, it is reasonable to assume that it was not operated carefully. The incorrect adjustment of the spoilers was extremely dangerous. The pilots were already in a dangerous slant in the air, and there was even a stall. During the emergency landing the jet missed the runway, slid over the lawn and was massively damaged.
This is not the first time that there have been doubts about the maintenance of government aircraft by Lufthansa.

I doubt incorrect wiring, more than likely incorrect electronic rigging (after mechanical rig, spoilers have to be electronically rigged, so computers know where they are).
