Heinz-Bernd Wabnitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz-Bernd Wabnitz (born January 15, 1944 in Breslau ) was prosecutor general in Bamberg from 2002 to January 2009 .

He began his professional career in 1972 in financial administration before moving to justice in 1976. First worked for the public prosecutor's office in Hof, he became a judge at the regional court in Hof and in 1996 took over the management of the public prosecutor's office in Hof. During his term of office, the first investigations into the nationally known case Peggy Knobloch took place before he became attorney general in Bamberg. He later stated that the resumption of a completed criminal case was "in principle as good as impossible". When asked about the contradictions in the proceedings at the time, he said that this was "of little relevance from a legal point of view". At this point it was already publicly known that the main witness in the proceedings had made a false statement. On December 9, 2013, the Bayreuth Regional Court ordered the resumption.

Together with Thomas Janovsky, he is the editor of a handbook on economic and tax criminal law and co-author of a work on white-collar crime . The manual of commercial and tax criminal law published with Janovsky was rated as a standard work in the Frankfurter Allgemeine .
