Criminal proceedings because of the free ticket affair surrounding the Rolling Stones concert

On November 20, 2019, the Hamburg district court sentenced Badde to a fine totaling 20,400 euros in 120 daily rates of 170 euros. The court found that she was guilty of accepting advantages and inducing subordinates to commit a crime . The court was convinced that four months before the Rolling Stones concert in Hamburg's Stadtpark in 2017, Badde had ordered two grandstand tickets including reduced fees for 357.50 euros from the then head of the Hamburg-Nord district office , Harald Rösler (SPD). As Rösler's disciplinary superior, she was aware that the office responsible for approving the concert had preferential access to tickets. "You should have intervened. You didn't do that," said the judge.

Badde's defense attorney announced that they would appeal the conviction . The judgment is therefore not legally binding for the time being .
