When the referee falls, Chopik sits empty in his seat

“This is not a normal stomach condition. It was incognito, and an additional instrument was programmed,” explains the district court judge. Munich I am after the verdict in the Alphonse Schuhbeck case. The famous chef was imprisoned for three years and two months for tax evasion. On the other hand, one of the chef’s IT staff escaped a suspended sentence.

After the sentence was pronounced, Schuhbeck listened to the judge – if he was present – on the side

Schuhbeck takes judgment outside quietly. He arranges his cards on the table and looks at the judge. His eyes are blank. He sits back in his chair and seems absent. He only listens to the judge – if at all – because she justifies her ruling.

Judge Andrea Wagner explains: “We had defendant Chopik, who at first could not convince himself to confess.” “We see that Mr. Shubek works a lot every day. If you work 15 hours a day, that should lead to a payout of at least a few thousand euros in the end. But that did not happen.”

‘We see a high level of criminal energy’

The judge also criticized the chef’s defense, saying, “The handle in the room has nothing to do with commercial errors.” His age – the chef is 73 – speaks for Schuhbeck. However, she comes to a difficult conclusion: “The state and therefore the citizens will leave the harm. We see a high level of criminal energy. The intensity of the press was” a heavy burden on both defendants”, continued Judge Wagner. However, the judge said “in light of all the facts, the suspended sentence can no longer be justified.”
