Overview

• Landgericht München I sentenced Alfons Schuhbeck to a combined four-year-three-month term for tax evasion, fraud, insolvency concealment and willful bankruptcy.
• Under Bavarian law his transfer to JVA Rothenfeld is suspended until September 15 because of his terminal cancer, though the break can be revoked at any time.
• Johann Lafer told the Abendzeitung he feels profound regret for his former colleague’s plight and admitted he is not familiar with the case details.
• Lafer said he intends to meet Schuhbeck face to face in Munich on his next visit, insisting true empathy cannot be conveyed by phone or text.
• Investigators found that Schuhbeck misused about €460,000 in COVID-19 relief funds and delayed insolvency filings for nine companies, triggering creditor claims of around €27 million.
