The Traunsteiner Weinschieber scandal

In the mid-1950s Neumann had to answer for illegal importation of goods , fraud and tax evasion and was finally sentenced in 1957 to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 800 D-Marks. He had committed these crimes under the influence of his sister and together with other CSU politicians and Catholic clergy. In 1948 and 1949, the group helped the Rosenheim wine merchant August Eutermoser with illegal wine imports by declaring them to serve church and charitable purposes. As a result of this scandal, Ferdinand Neumann had to resign from his political offices.
