Michael wrote that in Germany a large legal action is being taken over 20 euros, while others like Spahn are not being prosecuted despite allegations amounting to billions. In the case he described, an 80-year-old man gave 20 euros for the coffee fund in a card to the ambulance service that had taken his wife to the hospital after she collapsed. The district did not return the money but forwarded it to the public prosecutor's office for corruption. As a result, an investigation was initiated against the couple for granting advantages. The husband was supposed to have the proceedings dismissed for a fee of 20 euros, which according to Michael would have meant admitting the crime. He refused. The local court rejected the admission of the charge, viewing the gesture as innocent and the accusation as disconnected from reality. Nevertheless, the public prosecutor appealed to the regional court and failed there. The costs are borne by the state, Michael wrote. #Deutschland #Korruption #Rechtssystem (translated)
