Mayor of Seeg in court: “The temptation was great” – Bavaria

The mayor of Seeg in Ostallgäu and a nursing service manager are on trial because they are said to have used aid funds for fraud during the corona pandemic. The CSU town hall leader is paraded in shackles.

Anyone who visits the website of the town hall in Seeg, Swabia, on this Monday morning can get a picture of a man who is obviously very busy. Markus Berktold, 49, not only appears there as mayor for the CSU. He also chaired the building committee there – and apparently still does, according to the town hall. He is also chairman of the main and finance committee and, among other things, chairman of the tourism and “honey village committee”, a feature of the municipality in Ostallgäu.
