Overview

  • The Federal Court of Justice finalized three-year prison terms for Andrea Tandler and her partner Darius N. over evaded trade tax linked to €48 million in mask commissions.
  • Prosecutors successfully requested the discontinuation of income tax evasion counts, ending further legal proceedings against both defendants.
  • Judges found that the duo registered their firm’s headquarters in Grünwald solely to exploit lower trade tax rates despite not working there.
  • The defendants settled the nearly €4.2 million tax shortfall ahead of the Karlsruhe ruling, rendering those payments satisfied.
  • The case highlighted how Tandler leveraged high-level political connections to secure lucrative government contracts at the start of the COVID-19 response.
