Overview

• Authorities have suspended Alfons Schuhbeck’s detention for cancer treatment through September 15, with medical checks ongoing.
• The Munich I public prosecutor’s office says a continuation of the suspension is not currently known, so a return to custody would be expected after that date.
• A court in July formed a consolidated sentence of four years and three months based on new convictions for COVID-aid fraud, insolvency concealment and bookkeeping violations combined with his 2022 tax-evasion case.
• Schuhbeck has served 21 of the 51 months so far, including periods with day release and prison leave before the health-related pause.
• Recent video and photos showed him playing guitar and singing with friends, including Monika Gruber and Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, during his treatment leave.
