Ex-Sparkasse boss Bromme loses pension lawsuit after breach of trust ruling!

In a dramatic ruling, the Munich II Regional Court dismissed the lawsuit by Georg Bromme, the former savings bank boss of the Miesbach-Tegernsee district savings bank, for continued payment of his pension entitlements. In view of a final conviction of a prison sentence of one year and eight months for breach of trust, Bromme not only had to withdraw the lawsuit, but is also obliged to reimburse over 14,000 euros that were incorrectly paid to him. These legal actions are part of the extensive Miesbach savings bank affair that has made headlines in recent years, particularly due to luxury spending that took place at the institution's expense, such as Mercury reported.

Bromme had tried to sue in court for his pension payments of over 12,000 euros per month for March 2023. However, the regional court found that civil servants who were punished with a prison sentence of more than one year lose all claims arising from their civil service status. This also applies to Bromme, whose offenses date back to 2013 and who has emerged as one of the central figures in the affair, along with former district administrator Jakob Kreidl, who is also facing a reduced sentence. The savings bank only found out about the finality of the judgment some time after the conviction and demanded repayment of the pension payments that had already been made South German newspaper held on.

The court made it clear that the pensions were paid “without any legal justification.” Bromme is now insured in the statutory pension insurance after his pension rights were withdrawn for his old age. This decision sets a clear precedent for similar convictions resulting from the Sparkasse scandal. The legal implications of these developments now have major implications for Bromme's financial future as the court emphasizes restoring justice in this scandalous case.
