The last sentence in the Miesbach amigo affair is final. Now Georg Bromme, the former chairman of the board of directors of the district savings bank, has to do his service to the general public.
If, according to their statements at the time, it goes to court, then the two gentlemen actually only acted in the service of the general public in all the years up to 2014, especially the general public in the Miesbach district. Just as it should be for a district administrator and the chairman of the board of the district savings bank, who were also employees of this community. And what didn’t they take upon themselves? Day-long trips to Switzerland or Austria, for example, several nights in some luxury hotel far from home, just because of some meeting with the other board members, who, by the way, had to travel all the way from Miesbach.
In two hearings, the District Court of Munich II assessed these pleasure trips and some other things that Miesbach had once given to oneself and others at the expense of the district savings bank as infidelity. The former District Administrator Jakob Kreidl (CSU), who had already lost re-election as a result of this Miesbach amigo affair in 2014, accepted the verdict on both occasions, but Sparkasse boss Bromme appealed twice. In the meantime, the Federal Court of Justice has rejected the second application, and the judgment from last year is final. And so now Bromme has to serve the community again and do the 300 hours of community service that the court sentenced him to. Kreidl has already served his 200.
Neither of them have to go to prison, because the court suspended the prison sentences of eleven months for Kreidl and one year and eight months for Bromme. Bromme’s sentence for the second time was even two months higher than that of the first judgment, against which he had successfully taken action. Nevertheless, the appeals have paid off for him. Because in the almost four years since the first verdict, Bromme has drawn his full and quite considerable pension as a former top official at the Sparkasse month after month. Because he is now legally sentenced to more than a year in prison, he loses this pension at the age of 74. The pension of Kreidl, who is four years his junior, for his six years as a district administrator, but not for the previous time as a member of the state parliament, was reduced by 30 percent a while ago. The prosecutor’s office wants to have his district administrator’s pension canceled entirely, the procedure lies with the administrative court.
