Frankfurt / Munich.
German Bank Co-CEO Juergen Fitschen must possibly answer in a criminal trial before the Munich District Court. The Munich prosecutor also confirmed on Tuesday as expected the charges against the bankers over alleged fraud in the lawsuit for damages by the media tycoon Leo Kirch.
The news reached hinge plates in Berlin, when he on a panel of industry tags with the Tagesschau- spokeswoman Linda Zervakis chatted. Quickly he leaves the event and can be driven to the airport. The next appointment calls.
are also accused Fitschens predecessor Rolf Breuer and Josef Ackermann and former bank board members Clemens Börsig and Tessenberg of Heydebreck. All bankers are said to have made false statements in court and denied it. According to prosecutors, prison sentences of six months to ten years may be imposed. Whether the district court accepts the indictment and thus it actually comes to the process, probably decided until early next year.
According to the judge to decide on the admission of the indictment is not yet in sight. This is mainly at the periphery of the formulated by the prosecutors indictment: it includes 627 pages, the investigation records are filed in 143 folders. These must now be worked through by the 5th Criminal Court under Judge Peter Noll.
The indictment accuses hinge plates and the other bankers in the compensation process to the bankruptcy of the Kirch group through an interview of Ex-Bank boss Breuer said to have been triggered in February 2002, to have testified falsely more than three years ago and in fact lied to prevent damages payment to the church.
The German bank has for months indicated that it considers the suspicion against her co-CEO unfounded. Also Fitschen itself has repeatedly stressed that he had “neither lied nor cheated” in his statement in the parish process. A resignation he rejects reportedly.
