You now have to answer again before the district court
Munich - It is one of the most mysterious criminal cases in recent years!

But to this day, the perpetrators have not been determined - and the money has never surfaced again.
Munich: Rich Russian woman had stored the millions in a bank safe
A rich Russian woman had stored the millions in safe deposit boxes at the bank.
Video surveillance footage shows how hooded perpetrators entered the bank - after which the money was gone.
Starting next week, a new attempt is to be made to clear up the criminal events in Commerzbank.
From Tuesday on, the district court will hear the case for the second time.
A bank employee and two alleged accomplices are accused of stealing nearly 4.6 million euros from the compartments.
The banker is said to have provided the men with insider knowledge and given them access to the bank branch.

The case had already landed in court in January 2020.
At that time, a total of seven suspects were charged, but four of them have now been acquitted.
The proceedings against the three now defendants were suspended because, from the point of view of the regional court, “extensive follow-up investigations” were necessary.

Curious: The main suspect in the case, bank employee Silvia F., was re-employed in the bank in November 2020.
Because she had won a lawsuit before the labor court.
After that she was even allowed to go back to her old branch on Promenadeplatz.
But from Tuesday she will have to take a seat in the dock.
The district court has scheduled around 30 days of negotiations for the trial of the theft of millions.
The charge is "serious gang theft".
The judgment could therefore be made at the beginning of June 2022.
