A 37-year-old hairdresser from the southern district ends up back in the dock shortly after his release from prison. The judge sentences him to a fine.
The defendant confessed to at least one point. "I could no longer pay my social security contributions," he explained with his head bowed. 'I have financial difficulties and insolvency proceedings,' he told the judge in Ebersberg, Germany, after his arrest in January. The man is said to have not paid another employee's salary for two months. The outstanding amount here amounts to around 2,800 euros, the prosecutor said... The defendant was convicted of embezzlement and fraud and sentenced to two years in prison. The victim was sentenced to a two-year prison sentence and fined $1,000. In addition to the fine, the defendant was ordered to pay a fine of $2,000 and court costs of $3,000.
