In the cum-ex trials against Hanno Berger, the Bonn Regional Court also announced dates for the main hearing on Tuesday.
As early as April 4, the 71-year-old accused, who is being held in custody in a Hessian correctional facility, will have to answer before the 12th Criminal Chamber.
Eight days later, as has been clear since last week, the trial against the tax lawyer at the Wiesbaden district court will begin.
Both criminal courts have coordinated their appointments on different days of the week, which makes two almost parallel hearings against Berger possible.

There was obviously less willingness to cooperate between the prosecutors from Cologne and Frankfurt.
A combination of both criminal proceedings before the tried and tested criminal chamber in Bonn had not come about.
"This would have required an agreement between the two public prosecutors," said the Bonn Regional Court.
There, the lawyer Martin Kretschmer took over the mandate as a public defender after all three defenders had recently turned their backs on Berger.
