Overview
- The investigation centers on an alleged fake €2,500 invoice for social‑media services submitted in January 2025 to the CDU’s Rheinisch‑Bergischer Kreis branch.
- Authorities are examining whether the paid amount was then handed to Bosbach in cash to cover other expenses.
- A separate case is pending against the former campaign helper, who reportedly self‑reported to police over the incident.
- The local CDU board says it has turned over relevant documents as prosecutors stress the presumption of innocence and caution that inquiries will take time.
- Bosbach denies wrongdoing, says she did not enrich herself and that no party loss occurred, and expresses confidence the case will be closed.
