ARD's Legal Advisor's Perspective
In a 43-minute video, broadcast by Middle German Broadcasting on August 20, 2025 at 16:18 (TVMi), former Federal Minister of Transport, Andreas Scheuer, is being questioned about suspected false testimony.
The charges against Scheuer involve allegations of false testimony in a court of law, as per § 153 StGB. If there is a conviction, a prison sentence of three months to five years is possible, and a fine may also be imposed in less severe cases.
Legal expert Christoph Kehlbach, who provides analysis on Scheuer's case in the video, expects a trial for the former minister. He further anticipates a conviction if there is a trial. However, Kehlbach also expresses his expectation for a lenient sentence, should Scheuer be found guilty.
In the video, Scheuer is questioned about the alleged false testimony. The rights for the video belong to Middle German Broadcasting.
Andreas Scheuer has been charged with suspected false testimony, following the investigation into the case. Despite the charges, there is currently no new information available about the specifics of the charges against him.
As the legal proceedings continue, the public awaits further developments in this high-profile case.
