Cologne party donation affair

Richard Blömer was in the wake of the Cologne party funding scandal by the Cologne Regional Court sentenced to one year probation. He appealed against this judgment. The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) overturned the judgment of the Cologne Regional Court in the appeal proceedings on April 13, 2011 on the grounds that " The conviction of the defendant Blömer is not valid. The conviction is not supported by the previous findings. The matter therefore requires new factual clarification " . On January 31, 2012, Blömer was sentenced by the Ninth Large Criminal Chamber of the Cologne Regional Court in the second instance to a ten-month suspended prison sentence for concealing a party donation. In addition, Blömer has to bear the procedural costs. In this process, Blömer had made a partial confession for the first time: he admitted the disguise of the donation, but only in the amount of 12,000 DM. However, the court is convinced that Blömer should actually have broken up 67,000 DM and incorrectly declared it in the statement of accounts. The 1st Criminal Senate of the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe rejected Blömer's appeal against this judgment in September 2012 as unfounded, making the judgment of the Cologne Regional Court legally binding.
