The convicted Stark cook Alfons Schuhbeck is sticking to his revision and has now exchanged his lawyers.
Munich – Great turning point in the “Inger trial” involving Alfons Schuhbeck.
The star chef, who was convicted of tax evasion in the millions, has now changed his lawyers and wants to appeal against his verdict.
The two previous defense attorneys "ended the mandate by mutual agreement and are no longer working for Mr. Schuhbeck," said Schuhbeck's spokesman Peter Dietlmaier on Friday to the

Alfons Schuhbeck: Star chef is sticking to revision - and is now exchanging his lawyers
Schuhbeck decided "that the appeal against the judgment of the Munich I Regional Court of November 27, 2022 should be continued".
The court had sentenced Schuhbeck to three years and two months in prison for tax evasion of around 2.3 million euros.
On the other hand, the restaurateur had lodged an appeal and announced that he might withdraw it as soon as he had examined the written reasons for the judgment.

According to the court, the deadline for justifying the appeal expired on Friday.
According to Dietlmaiers, his new lawyer is Ali B. Norouzi from Berlin.
"Unaffected by the decision to continue the revision are Mr. Schuhbeck's efforts to fully compensate for the damage," the statement said.
