Relatives affair

In 2013, in the wake of the relatives affair, Harald Güller had to admit that from 1997 he had employed the then 14-year-old son of his partner for at least two years. The school-age minor received 610 marks a month for "light office work". "Such activities," Güller told the Münchner Abendzeitung, "were widespread and common back then, they were certainly insensitive back then and, from today's perspective, wrong."

Güller was prosecuted for the fact that he hired this stepson again in 2009. In May 2013, the Munich I public prosecutor's office announced that it would initiate criminal investigations. On December 4, 2013, the Bavarian State Parliament lifted Güller's immunity.

Güller stated in court that he had hired his stepson for two months in 2009 and paid around 7,400 euros for it from tax revenues. He had overlooked the fact that his stepson had legally become a first-degree relative through his marriage, which means an employment ban from state parliament grants. After checking by the state parliament office , Güller paid back the approx. 7,400 euros. On May 28, 2013, Güller resigned from his posts as Parliamentary Managing Director of the SPD state parliamentary group and Swabian SPD district chairman.

In August 2014, Güller was sentenced to a fine of 120 daily rates of 150 euros, a total of 18,000 euros, by the Munich District Court I. The district court thus reduced the sentence from the first judgment by the Munich District Court , which had provided 180 daily rates. Unlike the first instance, the regional court did not see direct fraudulent intent.
