In the affair that has been smoldering for years about doctored accounts at the Bavarian Arbeiter-Samaritan-Bund (ASB), the Nuremberg Public Prosecutor’s Office has now filed charges. Three former senior employees aged 68, 55 and 52 are accused of charging health insurance companies between 2013 and 2018 4.7 million euros the Central Office for Combating Fraud and Corruption in the Health Care System (ZKG) announced on Wednesday Nuremberg with. The money is said not to have flowed into the men’s private pockets, but was used for other purposes at the ASB.
The trio, which according to the indictment is said to have acted like a gang, is accused of, for example, the accounts for fuel costs to have driven extremely upwards. The 68-year-old is also accused of having a Company car to have used for private purposes.

The damage is now largely from the ASB to the injured party been repaid. According to the Attorney General, a sum of 850,000 euros is still open. This is to be collected from the accused in the course of the proceedings.
The affair had thrown the Bavarian Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund into considerable turbulence and existential financial difficulties. The former state chairman who has since resigned Hans Ulrich Pfaffmann had made the former management responsible. “Rather, it should be noted that the former Managing directors deliberately deceived the honorary board for years and grossly abused mutual trust,” Pfaffmann wrote in 2019.
