It should not become a second Sauter case: the signal that Munich prosecutors are sending in the Andrea Tandler case is important, comments Christian Deutschländer.
Munich – The Spahn sentence that you will have to forgive yourself a lot after this pandemic was wise.
Although there was also gross, obscene misconduct that can hardly be forgiven.
The cases of the mask Raffkes in Bavaria are among the worst.
The perpetrators drew millions in commissions from misery, suffering and death.
While everywhere volunteers and moderately paid full-time employees worked until they dropped, livelihoods fell apart, a few silvered their networks to sell holey masks for 8.90 euros each.
Thanks to loopholes in the anti-corruption laws, the politicians involved also get through with impunity.
The signal that the Munich prosecutors are sending in the Andrea Tandler case is all the more important: hard, persistent investigations into every tax ramification.
Whether the immoral but legally obtained commissions were at least properly taxed is only a follow-up question.
But it would fit into the picture if there was also cheating and lying with letterbox companies.
The judiciary, which ultimately remained helpless in the case of the CSU masked man Sauter, is now fighting at Tandler to regain some of the citizens' trust in the state.
