Tonio Walter is the son of the criminologist Michael Walter . After graduating from high school in Cologne in 1990 and doing military service in the German Navy in 1990/91 and a broken off degree in architecture in Aachen, Walter studied law on a scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation in Bonn and Freiburg im Breisgau . After the first state examination in 1996, Walter worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Criminology and White Collar Criminal Law ( Klaus Tiedemann ). After a research stay in Paris in 1997/98, Walter began his legal traineeship in Freiburg im Breisgau, which was completed in 2000 with the second state examination in law. At the University of Freiburg he received his doctorate in 1999 with a thesis on criminal fraud law in France and Germany and in 2004 he received his habilitation with a treatise on the general theory of crime and the doctrine of de lege lata and de lege ferenda error . Walter received the license to teach ( venia legendi ) for criminal law , criminal procedure law and comparative criminal law .

After a substitute for a professorship at the University of Hanover , in February 2005 Walter received a call to the University of Regensburg for a W3 professorship for criminal law, criminal procedure law and European criminal law. After replacing the chair in the 2005/06 winter semester, he took it on as full professor on April 1, 2006 and added the field of white collar crime. Walter Richter has been in the second main office at the Nuremberg Higher Regional Court since June 2013 , and has also been a deputy member of the Bavarian Constitutional Court since January 2014 .

In addition, since 2007 he has been chairman of the Working Group of Social Democratic Lawyers (AsJ) in Upper Palatinate and since 2008 both state chairman of AsJ Bavaria and a member of the national board of AsJ.
