Lotto affair Baden-Wuerttemberg

In order to avoid a conviction in public criminal proceedings and without further public clarification of the allegations raised, weather paid this penalty order.

Various newspapers and news magazines had previously reported on him in his role as lottery boss in Baden-Württemberg. In Der Spiegel appeared u. a. An article with the accusation that a large part of the lottery tickets bought by Baden-Württemberg lottery customers never took part in special draws. The effort for sorting out the permanent lottery tickets (tickets for several weeks in a row) from the lottery drum, which is necessary after each drawing, seemed to Peter Wetter to be too expensive, which is why they were not thrown into the lottery drum for the drawing. The regular customers with permanent lottery tickets knew nothing of this. In addition - according to Der Spiegel - family members, relatives and friends of Peter Wetter have been lifted to lucrative top positions within the lottery center. He himself was responsible for numerous luxury trips abroad financed by the lottery company under the pretext of supposedly necessary meetings and conferences and the associated granting of benefits to Lotto employees and third parties.

Wetter resigned his position as lottery boss in 2013.
