Overview
- Police detained the 41-year-old when she went to report a traffic accident, acting on a mid-September Heidelberg court warrant citing flight and repeat-offense risk.
- Prosecutors say she worked at a Heidelberg-area private school from 2021 to 2024 without required qualifications, receiving €143,000 in salary and social contributions.
- Investigators also accuse her of forging sick notes and misappropriating student funds at that school, allegations that preceded her dismissal in 2024.
- She later worked at a Saarland private school from January to April 2025 using forged certificates, allegedly obtaining more than €7,000 before being fired.
- The case was triggered by an October 2024 application for a €25,000 loan using falsified payslips, and one report says the court has ordered an asset freeze of about €150,000 tied to alleged proceeds.
