Hanno Berger was convicted for his role in cum-ex deals. He lodged a complaint against this with the Federal Constitutional Court, but in vain.
In December 2022, the Bonn regional court sentenced Berger to eight years in prison and to repay 13.7 million euros. A Wiesbaden regional court imposed a prison sentence of eight years and three months on Berger in May 2023. If the WiesBaden judgment also becomes final, both judgments can be offset. This means that Berger faces a maximum of 15 years in jail.
