At the end of October 2021, Alfons Schuhbeck's companies were saved from insolvency.
Now documents should show that the star chef's financial problems are probably bigger than previously thought.
Munich – In July 2021, star chef Alfons Schuhbeck had to file for bankruptcy.
At the time, the corona pandemic and the lack of help were to blame.
At the end of October of the same year, the surprising news came: Anonymous investors saved a large part of Schuhbeck's companies and thus 90 jobs, as a spokesman for the insolvency administrator
explained to
Merkur.de at the time.
Alfons Schuhbeck's bookkeeping is "highly doubtful"
But now new details have come to light that reveal that Alfons Schuhbeck's financial problems have existed for longer and are greater than previously assumed.
This is reported
by stern.de.
Schuhbeck's insolvency administrator therefore criticizes the bookkeeping of the star chef's party service.
The "books" from 2016 and 2017 are "highly dubious, incomplete and not sufficiently reliable." In addition, the data from this same company are "implausible".
In addition, he has not published any annual reports for his restaurant, his cooking school or his spice shop since 2017,
explains
Bild.de.
The Federal Office of Justice is said to have initiated a procedure that could result in high fines.
Alfons Schuhbeck: Creditors are demanding 14 million euros
According to Stern
, the cook is now faced with claims from creditors of 14 million euros.
However, the claims should not only come from external creditors.
No, the Schuhbeck companies also make claims against each other, as the magazine reports.
As if all that weren't enough, tax investigations are still ongoing against the Munich celebrity chef.
In November, the Munich public prosecutor's office brought charges - the regional court has not yet decided whether there will be a trial.
