Financial scandal

At the beginning of the 1980s, the St. Georg welfare agency received nationwide attention through allegations of subsidy fraud running into the millions. Der Spiegel wrote: The St. Georg case is about political filth, fraud, corruption and mismanagement. The former director of the social welfare organization, Johannes Hennemeyer, was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison in 1985 for fraud and embezzlement.
