Overview
- The Landgericht Wiesbaden convicted former social affairs councillor Christoph Manjura and imposed 90 day-fines of €20, totaling €1,800.
- Manjura admitted he received nearly €60,000 net from AWO Wiesbaden between 2015 and 2017 for two posts where the agreed work was not performed.
- His defense presented proof of a €25,000 repayment made the day before trial, and the court ordered seizure of roughly €34,000 in remaining salary.
- Prosecutors charged aiding embezzlement in a particularly serious case, citing employer costs above €100,000, in proceedings linked to the wider AWO scandal exposed in 2019.
- The verdict fell on the first day after his plea, keeps him below the threshold for a criminal record, and a legal revision remains possible.
