Why is this woman leaving? Why is she leaving the judiciary in the middle of her professional life and losing her pension rights? She was a prosecutor with heart and soul; and she wasn’t just any prosecutor: she was the personification of constitutional determination, she was the spearhead of the Cum-Ex investigations. She was the woman who dared to reach the upper echelons of society as a criminal prosecutor. She was the senior public prosecutor who investigated big money with her main department of the Cologne public prosecutor’s office; she was the expert who solved and prosecuted gigantic frauds. She had been doing this for twelve years, courageously, fearlessly and with knowledgeable bravura. Anne Brorhilker has applied for “dismissal from her civil service position”. She has given up.
