Hans-Joachim Doerfert

Hans-Joachim Doerfert (* 1944 in Saarland ) is a former German manager. Until his release and arrest for infidelity he was the manager of the Caritas carrier company Trier (ctt).

Life

Ascent

In the 1960s Doerfert was the district chairman of the Junge Union in Neunkirchen . Since then he has made many contacts with politicians from the CDU and other parties, including Peter Rauen (CDU), Christoph Böhr (CDU) and Reinhard Klektiven (SPD). The trained lawyer came to Trier in the mid-1980s and became the administrative director of the Brothers Hospital.

Manager of the ctt

In 1987 Doerfert was involved in the founding of the ctt ( Caritas -rägergesellschaft Trier) in the Diocese of Trier by Bishop Hermann Josef Spital , of which he became the manager. Within a decade he built the ctt into a group with 42 facilities - including six hospitals -, 9,000 employees and - the equivalent of - 500 million euros in annual sales.

further activities

From 1995 to 1997 Doerfert was treasurer of the Trier CDU. In 1996 he became president of the Eintracht Trier football club . With misappropriated funds from the ctt, he is said to have supported the CDU Rhineland-Palatinate as well as the football clubs Eintracht Trier, FSV Salmrohr , Waldhof Mannheim and 1. FC Saarbrücken .

"Doerfert Affair"

In connection with investigations into corruption at Bayerische Beamten-Versicherung (BBV), which was a business partner of the ctt subsidiary Klinik Rose AG, the public prosecutor ordered a search of Doerfert on August 16, 1999. The local newspaper Trierischer Volksfreund reported on further cases of fraud in connection with Wesbaubetreuungsgesellschaft mbH. In 1994 a former Catholic boarding school in Dahn was sold by the Speyer diocese for - the equivalent of € 6.0 million - to Wesbau Baubetreuungsgesellschaft mbH, run by the married couple Wilfried and Leonore Gaul . On January 8, 1997, Wilfried Gaul , at the same time president of SV Waldhof Mannheim, sold the property for - the equivalent of € 13.25 million - to Caritas Trägergesellschaft Trier (CTT, renamed Cusanus Trägergesellschaft Trier mbH in 2009), which converted the house and used as a mothers convalescent home for mother-child cures . The Koblenz public prosecutor's office put the value of the property at - converted - € 6.9 million at this point in time. Under its manager Hans-Joachim Doerfert, who was also President of Eintracht Trier at the time, ctt paid around - converted - € 6.35 million too much for the property. The surplus funds were embezzled by Doerfert and Gaul and flowed partly through the Trier Medical Settlement (ÄAT) to the SV Waldhof Mannheim and Eintracht Trier clubs, both of which were presidents. Initially, the board members of the Rose Clinic and the ctt Doerfert expressed their trust, while Bishop Spital was silent, but on August 27, Bishop Doerfert discharged. Doerfert was arrested on September 15. Doerfert was sentenced in the civil proceedings by the Trier regional court to pay the ctt - the equivalent of € 3.6 million. On February 7, 2001, the Koblenz Regional Court sentenced Doerfert to seven years and three months in prison in 58 cases for fraud and breach of trust . In another trial before the Munich Regional Court on July 3, 2001, the sentence was extended to ten years and six months. Gaul was sentenced to two years probation and a € 50,000 fine by the Koblenz district court for illegal business and aiding and abetting in breach of trust.

Due to aiding and abetting in their previous relationships with Doerfert, the Federal Transport Minister Reinhard Klektiven , former Saarland Prime Minister and President of 1. FC Saarbrücken, and the Saarland Interior Minister Klaus Meiser had to resign from their offices. Meiser was reappointed Interior Minister in a cabinet reshuffle in 2007. In the course of the affair, Klimmel was also charged with accepting valuable book gifts.

District Administrator a. D. Helmut Gestrich resigned from his office as mayor of the city of Bernkastel-Kues on November 22, 2000 because of involvement in the affair .

On January 20, 2005, Doerfert was released from custody in the Diez correctional facility after having served half of his early sentence on probation for good conduct, taking into account the special circumstances under Section 57 of the Criminal Code .

New conviction

In November 2009, Doerfert, together with two board members of Viomed AG, had to answer again before the lay judge's court in Trier for delaying bankruptcy . Doerfert was convicted of tax evasion, delaying bankruptcy and deception by the Koblenz district court. In January 2013, the Koblenz Higher Regional Court (OLG) rejected Doerfert's appeal against the judgment of the Koblenz Regional Court as unfounded. The judgment of the regional court issued in May 2012 is therefore final. A small criminal chamber had sentenced Hans-Joachim Doerfert to one and a half years in prison without parole. Doerfert appealed against this judgment, but lost before the Koblenz Regional Court. He began this prison sentence on February 25, 2013 in Trier prison.
