Unraveling Motorhome Swindle: Arrests and Searches Across Germany
Digging into a suspected fraud case with potential losses in the millions, authorities initiated arrests and executed searches in seven different German states. The main target is a firm entrenched in Rosenheim, Upper Bavaria, suspected of orchestrating a multi-million euro motorhome sales scam.
According to the official announcement made on Monday, the former managing director of the company and her 61-year-old partner face charges of amassing substantial advance payments for the sale of motorhomes, yet failing to deliver the vehicles as promised. Both individuals are currently in police custody.
Investigators have identified six more individuals subject to examination, and their residences, suspected hideouts, and old company headquarters in Bavaria, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Berlin were all targeted during last week's operations. The searches yielded an abundance of documents and data carriers, whose evaluation is expected to take some time.
Since August, this motley crew of investigators has been hot on the trail of this supposed swindle. Estimates put the damages at an exorbitant sum, but it is predicted that the number of suspected victims throughout Germany will keep increasing. Bankruptcy proceedings for the company’s assets have now commenced, with fraud and delayed insolvency filings still under scrutiny.
Although national sources yielded no results regarding this specific investigation of a multi-million euro motorhome sales scam in Rosenheim, Upper Bavaria, involving an arrested ex-managing director and her boyfriend, along with ongoing searches and asset seizures in several German states, it is recommended to consult the pertinent German law enforcement or regional news outlets for the most up-to-date information.
