Overview

• Alfons Schuhbeck, serving a three-year, two-month sentence for tax evasion, has had his incarceration suspended due to undisclosed health issues.
• The suspension, effective until early June 2025, is revocable at any time and allows him to seek medical treatment unavailable in prison.
• Schuhbeck was seen in public on his 76th birthday in Munich, sparking public interest in his temporary release conditions, which include no house arrest or special monitoring.
• The chef faces a new trial beginning June 24, 2025, on allegations of insolvency concealment, subsidy fraud, and fraud, potentially adding up to five more years to his sentence.
• His original release date from prison was scheduled for October 2026 before the suspension was granted under Bavarian law.
