Robbery and conviction
After the FDP left the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament in 1983, Scholl ran into economic difficulties because he only held honorary posts. In May 1984, the public prosecutor opened an investigation against him for alleged embezzlement of funds from the Federal Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry, which was discontinued shortly afterwards. On December 28, 1984 fell Scholl a jewelry store in Baden-Baden , where he objects worth 2.3 million German marks captured. On January 5, 1985, Scholl was arrested as a suspect. Some of the loot was found in a Zurich bank box that belonged to him. Statements from witnesses incriminated him and the murder weapon was assigned to him. On December 27, 1985, Scholl was sentenced to eight years imprisonment by the Baden-Baden Regional Court for serious robbery and serious bodily harm . The defense's request for revision was rejected in 1986.
