Handelsblattcum-Exskandal: courthouse symbolizes the standstill of law enforcement

The CUM-Ex scandal caused a sensation in Germany, especially in connection with the criminal prosecution of the responsible actors. North Rhine-Westphalia invested 43 million euros in the construction of his own court for these special cases. Despite these high costs, the judiciary faces a serious problem: there is no process.

This missing procedure is not only a symbol of the challenges in the German legal system, but also an expression of the standstill in law enforcement. Critics, including a former judge, express concerns about the effectiveness of the judicial system in relation to complex financial crime such as the CUM-EX business. These settlement methods, which led to the loss of billions of tax failures, require specialized knowledge and a determined approach on the part of the judiciary.

The complexity of the CUM-Ex Caups, which enabled tax fraud on a large scale, presents the investigative authorities with considerable challenges. Despite extensive investigations, the question remains open how many procedures are actually initiated and whether the necessary resources and political will are available. The fact that a specially established dish does not lead to a flood of processes raises questions about prioritization and efficiency of law enforcement.
