There is a risk of long imprisonment: the case against Scheuer regarding the toll disaster is probably about to be decided. The failed car toll could still have legal consequences for Andreas Scheuer: an investigation is expected to be close to a decision.
If Scheuer were found guilty, he could face up to five years in prison. Even if he admitted making a false statement, a fine or a short suspended sentence would be possible. But the possible false statement by the former transport minister may be too serious to stop the proceedings against the payment of a fine.
