Hall/MZ (ots)

A financial scandal trembles through the welfare world in Saxony-Anhalt and pulls the top of the Saale-Kyffhäuser folk solidarity into the abyss! On Thursday, the investigators of the Halle public prosecutor carried out a spectacular raid that has firmly targeted the association's high -ranking managers. The accusations? Increased in a particularly difficult extent! According to the official spokesman Dennis Cernota, three mighty people are suspected: the chairman of the board, his deputy and the authorized signatory. These are said to have covered illegal, excessive salaries for years!

The terrifying balance? A damage of at least two million euros - and all between 2019 and 2024! These salary payments were apparently veiled with tricks by using a network of connected companies. Even funds from a daycare carrier have been suspected! On Thursday, the financial investigators searched a total of eight objects in the Saalekreis, including the headquarters of the association in Querfurt and the private apartments of the accused. The officials found numerous documents and data carriers for evaluation.

Investigations and consequences

Saale-Kyffhäuser's folk solidarity is silent for the concrete allegations. Managing Director Sven Gebhardt was sparse and emphasized that the new management has only recently been known about the investigation. Financial transparency and integrity are essential for the association, and one wants to maintain the trust of everyone involved. An internal team to clarify the facts has already been used, but the presumption of innocence applies, of course! The scandal throws dark shadows on the values ​​of the welfare association and the next steps remain intently!
