In 1996, his immunity as a member of the Bundestag was lifted on suspicion of taking advantage of the tax affair surrounding the armaments lobbyist Karlheinz Schreiber ; the public prosecutor's office in Augsburg ordered a house search . The German Bundestag restored its immunity on November 14, 1997, after the Augsburg public prosecutor's investigations were unsuccessful. The public prosecutor's office in Augsburg later had to discontinue the investigation against Riedl in accordance with Section 170 (2) StPO for lack of suspicion .

In 2009 Wilhelm Schlötterer published a book entitled Power and Abuse From Strauss to Seehofer - An Insider Unpacks . In it he described the following: on October 29, 1996, the Chief Public Prosecutor informed the Public Prosecutor General that the investigating public prosecutor would close the proceedings against Riedl. The Bavarian Ministry of Justice (Minister at that time was Hermann Leeb ) prohibited the responsible public prosecutor from suspending the investigation.

The Bundestag finally restored Riedl's immunity across all parliamentary groups in November 1997. After the 1998 Bundestag election - Riedl was no longer a member of parliament and therefore no longer had any immunity - the investigation proceedings against him were reopened and kept open for a year and a half (until March 2000), although there were no new indications and no investigations against him.
