Landsberg District Court: Paid for two beers with a false 500 euro note. 25-year-old man paid for two bottles of beer for 2.14 euros in a supermarket in Kaufering.
Although the note superficially looked like a 500 euro. note in terms of shape, size and print, it also had Chinese characters on it. The man has now been hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital for months and is being treated with strong medication and electric shocks. Judge: The fact that the defendant paid for a bill with the false 500 euros also “stinks high heaven”
