Alfons Schuhbeck Remains Free as Medical Suspension of Prison Term Continues

The Munich prosecutor is assessing whether his cancer therapy can be provided in custody.

Overview

  • The previously set health-related pause was due to end Monday, but prosecutors say the interruption of his sentence remains in place pending the medical-capacity review.
  • Prosecutor’s office spokesperson Juliane Grotz said they are examining whether and how the necessary treatment could continue in prison and that he need not report to the JVA until the review concludes.
  • Schuhbeck is currently receiving treatment outside JVA Andechs‑Rothenfeld.
  • In July, the Landgericht München I issued a consolidated four-year, three-month term for insolvency offenses and fraud that incorporates his earlier tax-evasion conviction.
  • He admitted the allegations in court and creditors have lodged about €27 million in claims, with the insolvency administrator expecting only a small portion to be repaid.
