German Tax Lawyer Sentenced To 99 Months Prison Time For His Role In The Cum-Ex Scheme!
After the trial, which lasted just under a year, the court considered it proven that the accused tax lawyer Hanno Berger had participated in cum-ex stock deals between 2006 and 2008, which led to unjustified tax refunds of €113 million. He was sentenced to eight years and three months in prison. In 2017, the Attorney General's Office brought charges against Berger and five former Hypovereinsbank employees from London and Munich for serious tax evasion.
