Criticism and investigation

Geue came under fire in December 2012 after his announcement that he would lead Peer Steinbrück's election campaign because, despite his declared intention not to return to the service of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, he merely took a leave of absence and thus acquired further pension rights under civil service law . After the legal service of the state parliament also questioned the legality of the leave of absence in an opinion, Geue was put into temporary retirement in March 2013 .

From April 2, 2013, the Magdeburg public prosecutor's office was investigating Geue on suspicion of breach of trust through private use of company cars. He was accused of having put pressure on subordinates and his driver in order to be able to use his company car free of charge for private trips (for example between his place of work in Magdeburg and his main residence in Berlin). Geues employer, Finance Minister Bullerjahn, spoke of a broken relationship of trust. The investigation was closed in February 2014.
