The public prosecutor's office in Bochum is the law enforcement authority responsible for the district of the Bochum regional court .

Specialized department for white collar crime

The Bochum Public Prosecutor's Office has a specialty department to combat particularly extensive white-collar crime and corruption . Here, like the North Rhine-Westphalian public prosecutor's offices in Bielefeld, Düsseldorf and Cologne, for example, it investigates nationwide after an allocation order by the respective public prosecutor .

The Bochum public prosecutor's office caused a great stir internationally when it investigated some data from so-called “tax CDs” in 2011/12 and carried out numerous large-scale police operations and raids against suspected tax evaders nationwide.

This happened in a politically explosive phase of rapprochement between Germany and Switzerland on tax law issues - the so-called " Agreement between the Swiss Confederation and the Federal Republic of Germany on cooperation in the areas of taxes and the financial market " was about to be concluded.
