Overview
- Officials confirmed the ruling became final on October 7 after the Higher Regional Court found no legal errors in the case.
- Wendler was convicted of assisting the removal of assets from his then‑wife’s indebted company through the 2016 transfer of the “Wendler” trademark and more than 150 song titles, which deprived creditors.
- The original sentence—150 daily fines of €100, totaling €15,000—was issued by the Dinslaken District Court and upheld by the Duisburg Regional Court in March 2025.
- With the revision dismissed, no further legal remedies are available, and Wendler is now officially recorded as having a prior conviction.
- The proceedings began in 2021 without his personal appearance and included an arrest warrant; his ex‑wife accepted a one‑year suspended sentence, and he has since resumed selective performances in Germany and Mallorca.
