Cum-Ex key figure fails at the Federal Constitutional Court. Tax lawyer Hanno Berger earned millions with cum-ex transactions.
In December 2022, the Bonn regional court sentenced Berger to eight years in prison and to repay 13.7 million euros for three cases of particularly serious tax evasion. If the Wiesbaden judgment also becomes final, both judgments can be offset. This means that Berger faces a maximum of 15 years in jail - but in reality it is likely to be significantly less.
