On March 4, 2018, two perpetrators carried out an acid attack on Günther in Haan , in which he was seriously injured. He was released after three weeks in the clinic. The Finance magazine reported on 24 October 2019 that a suspect was arrested, while a second suspect was still on the run; there is suspicion in the room that the assassins may have acted on behalf of a competing manager. In November 2019, the arrest warrant was revoked because no urgent suspicion could be proven against the suspect. The investigation continues.
