Attachment attempt at Aichacher petrol station: Young man is silent in court

A 21-year-old had to answer to the youth court in Aichach because he wanted to pay at a fake 20-euro note at a petrol station about a year ago. Alarmed by the counterfeit money, the petrol station employee did not accept the appearance and the accused paid a real appearance without further ado. The young man was charged with attempted falsifications and fraud, but was silent about the allegations during the procedure.

This incident raises questions about how the authenticity of money is in our society. The case shows that even with the smallest amounts, there is a risk of encounting counterfeits. The process will continue to cause a stir. Further information is available at www.augsburger-allgemeine.de .
