"Wanted as much flood aid as possible" - first judgment in Bonn spoken
Bonn/Euskirchen/Rheinbach ·
A pair of brothers is suspected of applying unauthorized funds from flood aid. Part of this amount has already been paid out. The trial against the brothers started at the Bonn district court at the end of January. The younger brother has now received a judgment that is the result of an understanding.
These legal disputes are part of the comprehensive efforts for more transparency and the avoidance of fraud in view of the massive financial aid that were made available after the flood disaster. The flood aid has been set up to support the victims of the devastating floods quickly and unbureaucratically in 2021.
The Bonn district court not only deals with this case, but also signals that similar procedures are possible in the whole country to pursue abuse and misuse of auxiliary funds. The sensitive issues related to flood aids and the associated financial resources require special attention, especially in view of the large number of those affected and the financial needs of many people.
The outcome of this process could have far -reaching effects on future aid measures, since it influences public perception and trust in such systems. The judiciary wants to send clear signals that fraud in connection with auxiliary money is not tolerated.
