The large-scale raid took place a good three weeks ago; completely inconspicuous, nothing should seep through. The Munich I public prosecutor’s office is investigating around 100 suspects on suspicion of tax evasion amounting to more than half a billion euros. According to legal circles, between 150 and 200 offices and apartments in almost all of Germany were searched. The public prosecutor’s office wants to clarify what business was going on and for what purpose. To cheat the tax authorities? Defense lawyers for the accused reject this.
