Overview

  • Christoph Manjura was found guilty at the Wiesbaden Regional Court and handed 90 day rates at €20 each, totaling a €1,800 fine.
  • He admitted being paid from 2015 to 2017 for work largely not performed in two roles tied to AWO Wiesbaden, receiving roughly €60,000 net.
  • On the eve of the trial he transferred €25,000 to AWO, and the court ordered the seizure of about €34,000 in remaining proceeds.
  • The verdict came on the first day after early-October talks produced a plea framework, with prosecutors having sought a higher penalty than the defense proposed.
  • Prosecutors cited employer costs well over €100,000 and an expectation of influence for AWO leadership, the ruling remains open to challenge through revision and the case forms part of the broader AWO corruption affair.
