Nürburgring affair

On July 7, 2009, Deubel resigned as finance minister due to the failure of private financing for the Nürburgring 2009 project - the expansion of the race track into a leisure and business center. In this context, the Koblenz Public Prosecutor opened an investigation against him on June 30, 2010 for suspected fraud and breach of trust. On August 13, 2012, the Koblenz Regional Court admitted the prosecution to the main hearing. The trial against Deubel began on October 16, 2012. On April 16, 2014, he was sentenced to three years and six months in prison by the First Commercial Criminal Chamber of the Koblenz Regional Court . The court found him guilty of serious breach of trust and unofficial false testimony in the investigative committee of the Landtag of Rhineland-Palatinate in 14 cases .

Deubel appealed against the judgment to the Federal Court of Justice . In January 2015, Federal Prosecutor General Harald Range requested, by ruling on the appeal of the accused, to set aside the judgment of the 4th major criminal division of the Koblenz Regional Court of April 16, 2014, to reopen the proceedings on the points complained of and to refer it back to another criminal division of the Regional Court. On November 26, 2015, the Federal Court of Justice partially overturned the conviction for infidelity. The regional court did not justify the occurrence of a financial disadvantage for Nürburgring GmbH or the state of Rhineland-Palatinate without errors of law. The conviction of Deubels because of unofficial false testimony in the investigative committee of the state parliament was, however, free of legal errors, it is therefore final . The allegation of infidelity had to be partially renegotiated by another criminal chamber of the Koblenz Regional Court. In January 2020, Deubel was sentenced to two years and three months in prison by the Koblenz Regional Court.
