On August 20, 2013 - shortly before the Bavarian state elections on September 15, 2013 - it was announced that he had accounted for tax costs for a digital camera costing more than 6,000 euros. König told the press agency dpa that he had turned to the state parliament a few weeks ago "of his own free will" in order to refund the money. The camera was too heavy and unwieldy and therefore useless for his purposes. The Bavarian Prime Minister Horst Seehofer considered the König case "actually closed" because König had obtained the consent of the state parliament administration and reimbursed the money before buying it.

With the 2018 election , König was re-elected to the state parliament. There he is a member of the Committee for Federal and European Affairs as well as Regional Relations and a member of the Committee for Economics, Regional Development and Energy.
