Relatives affair

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In April 2013, several cases of nepotism (nepotism) by members of the Bavarian State Parliament became known. They had employed spouses and first and second degree relatives from the public funds available to them. This was in the media as relatives affair , content affair , MPs affair , family affair , employment affair and Amigo affair (not to be confused with the Amigo affair from 1993), respectively.

If the accusation was initially only against a few members of the CSU , it later became known that a total of 79 Bavarian members had used a transitional arrangement after 2000 and, after the general ban, had continued to employ relatives and spouses as employees at state expense, including 56 members of the CSU state parliament , 21 from the SPD , one from the Greens and a non-attached person who used to belong to the Greens. Employment of more distant relatives also became public among members of the Free Voter . There was also one case with the SPD and one with the Free Voters, where step-sons were hired after the employment ban.

background

At the end of 1999, the Diet Commission of the Bavarian State Parliament, consisting of seven independent members - in the context of a 40 percent increase in the employee flat rate for members of the State Parliament - demanded that the employment contracts with spouses or close relatives be terminated, as was the case with 45 of the 204 members at the time was. In March 2000, Panorama magazine reported on this practice.

With the entry into force of the "Law to amend the Bavarian Parliamentary Representatives Act" on December 1, 2000, an attempt was made to amend it. Therefore were no longer recoverable with the employee package: "cost of contracts with those married to a member of the Diet, related in the first degree or by marriage in the first degree or have established a partnership within the meaning of the Civil Partnership Act." However, at the same time was a perpetual Transitional regulation for so-called "old cases", ie employee contracts that already existed before the law came into force, established. In § 2 it says: “Art. 6 para. 7 sentence 2 does not apply to the contracts that existed when the law came into force. ” This transitional regulation was expressly confirmed in December 2000, June 2004 and July 2009 with resolutions by the Presidium and the Council of Elders in the Bavarian State Parliament unanimously designated as admissible. All parliamentary groups belong to the council of elders.

In 2002 the independent diet commission asked the Bavarian state parliament to let the old cases expire at the end of the 2003 electoral term. The then President of the Landtag, Johann Böhm , informed the parliamentary groups in a letter that "Expenses for the contracts existing on December 1, 2000 will remain reimbursable beyond the 14th electoral term" . The intergroup, the council of elders and the presidium were sufficiently informed about this express extension of the old case regulation. It was stated in writing that "such contracts can exist beyond the 14th electoral term."

In May 2011, the constitutional lawyer and party critic Hans Herbert von Arnim again referred to the old cases in the Bavarian state parliament as part of his investigation “Members of Parliament: Reserve army of the parties?” . On April 15, 2013, von Arnim published a book with the title “The self-service. How Bavarian politicians prey on the state ” . In the context of the beginning state election campaign, its content was now taken into account. The theses in the book were rejected by State Parliament President Barbara Stamm and Prime Minister Horst Seehofer . The chairman of the Free Voters Hubert Aiwanger , who presented the book together with von Arnim, but had only read it three days before, distanced himself from the content and the "fundamental criticism".

At that time, Bavaria and Brandenburg were the only federal states that forbade MPs from employing first-degree relatives. A tightening was already planned in Brandenburg. Hamburg , Berlin , North Rhine-Westphalia, Thuringia and Baden-Württemberg also prohibit the employment of second-degree relatives, such as siblings. In Saarland and Bremen there is no regulation, but get MPs only one package of benefits in kind, not for staff. In the other federal states and in the federal government, the employment of third-degree relatives is also prohibited, or a general ban applies. In Berlin, Lower Saxony , North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse, there is also a cross-over prohibition : MPs are therefore not allowed to employ relatives of other MPs.

Affected MPs

On May 3, 2013, Barbara Stamm published a list of the names of MPs who used the old case regulation and employed spouses and first-degree relatives (parents, children). Thereupon politicians from all parliamentary groups were found, except for the FDP and the Free Voters. Both parties only entered the Bavarian state parliament in 2008. Allegations against politicians of the Free Voters concerned employment with second or third degree relatives (see below). Cabinet members had also hired family members. The Bayerische Rundfunk asked the deputies to employment relative of second degree (siblings, grandchildren, grandparents) and then published a list. 16 MPs (twelve from the CSU, three from the SPD and one deceased - anonymously - politician) had just signed such employment contracts shortly before the employment ban for close relatives came into effect on December 1, 2000.

CSU

Georg Schmid resigned as head of the CSU parliamentary group and announced that he would no longer run in the state elections in the autumn . On April 26, the former Minister of Social Affairs Christa Stewens was elected as Schmid's successor as parliamentary group leader . She sees her main task in clearing up the affair completely. Georg Winter resigned from the chairmanship of the State Budget and Financial Affairs Committee at the end of April 2013 because of the allegations against him.

On July 25, 2014, the Augsburg public prosecutor brought charges against Schmid, who is said to have evaded at least 340,000 euros in social security contributions by employing his wife “and one other employee” as bogus self- employed for 22 years . He is accused of withholding and embezzling wages in 262 cases and tax evasion in 59 cases. At the same time, Schmid's wife was charged with aiding and abetting and tax evasion in ten cases. The trial began on March 2, 2015. On March 18, 2015, Georg Schmid was sentenced to 16 months probation and a fine of 120,000 euros by the Augsburg District Court . In February 2015, his wife was sentenced to pay 240 daily rates .

Education Minister Ludwig Spaenle paid back over 37,000 euros. This roughly corresponds to the payments that Spaenle's wife has received as a member of parliament since 2008 when he became minister. Justice Minister Beate Merk has repaid all the money her sister received. Agriculture Minister Helmut Brunner wants to provide 13,500 euros for social purposes; the amount his wife had received since he took up the post of minister in 2008. Interior Secretary Gerhard Eck also wants to repay his wife's fee into the state treasury. State Secretary for Culture Bernd Sibler was not asked to repay the money because he only employed his wife until 2007 and he only later became a member of the cabinet. Georg Winter is the only MP without government office to announce that he will transfer the money, including wage tax and social security contributions, paid to his two sons as part of their 12-year employment relationship back to the state treasury. Due to the minority of the sons 13 and 14 years old at the start of employment (they are now 26 and 27 years old), their employment was in a legal gray area. Winter repaid 90,000 euros.

Use of the old case regulation

In the CSU parliamentary group, 56 MPs had used the old case regulation, two of them deceased from the 14th electoral term (1998–2003).

* Employed first-degree relatives shortly before the ban.

Employment of second degree relatives

SPD

Harald Güller was the first opposition politician to repay € 7,500 to the state parliament. He had hired his wife's son from their first marriage for two months in 2009. This employment relationship was therefore not subject to the old case regulation. Legally, the son was a first-degree relative. Güller stated that he did not know anything about this legal situation. He only paid back the employee lump sum after the state parliament office had checked it. It later became known that Güller had already hired his stepson in the 1990s at the age of 14 for office work for the equivalent of € 300 a month. After the public prosecutor's office began to investigate Güller at the end of May, he resigned on May 28 from his offices as parliamentary manager of the SPD and Swabian SPD district chairman. Güller was able to keep his top spot on the list of candidates of the SPD Swabia for the state elections in September, according to the wishes of the four deputy SPD district chairmen. In August 2014, Güller was sentenced by the Munich Regional Court to a fine of 120 daily rates of 150 euros, a total of 18,000 euros. At the same time, however, the court found that there was no direct intent to commit fraud.

Use of the old case regulation

In the SPD parliamentary group, 21 MPs who used the old case regulation were affected, including 1 deceased from the 14th electoral term (1998-2003)

* Employed first-degree relatives shortly before the ban.

Employment of second degree relatives

Green

In the Green parliamentary group, MP Maria Scharfenberg used the old case regulation. The same goes for the non-attached MP Volker Hartenstein , who used to be a member of the Greens. Thomas Gehring employed a second-degree relative according to the Bavarian Broadcasting List.

Free voters

Gabriele Pauli announced on May 6th that she, at that time part of the Free Voters, had employed her sister for a few months.

Claudia Jung had to admit at the end of May that she had hired her stepson for a few months at the end of 2012 to revise her digital database. Against the law, she paid him 2074 € from the employee lump sum. The public prosecutor's office examined the initiation of an investigation, but closed the case after paying a monetary condition .

Two third-degree cases were also known to the Free Voters: Günther Felbinger and Jutta Widmann , each of whom employed their nieces.

Hubert Aiwanger's employee, who had been employed since 2009, married his sister two years later. While Aiwanger was still defending this employment relationship in the television magazine Report Mainz , a few days later he announced that he would pay the employee from his own financial resources in the future.

consequences

In the course of the announcement and publication of the events in April / May 2013, there were heated discussions among the public. State Parliament President Barbara Stamm announced that the regulations for secondary jobs and the employment of family members, following the example of the Bundestag, would be tightened before the summer break. The existing problem cases should be disclosed and the cabinet members concerned were requested by Prime Minister Horst Seehofer to repay the money they used from the lump sum to pay salaried relatives to the public purse.

On May 7, 2013, the Bavarian Supreme Audit Office announced that it would review both the tightening of the law on representatives and the handling of the so-called old cases. ORH President Fischer-Heidlberger said that the ORH would check "how the state administration implemented these rules" . His authority does not intend to check the individual MPs, but the responsible state parliament office. The question is being investigated whether the state parliament had sufficiently carried out its control tasks in relation to the members of parliament. In addition, it is intended to review the entire financing of parliamentarians, including the so-called flat -rate fee . In Bavaria, in addition to their compensation, each MP currently receives a tax-free flat-rate fee of EUR 3,214 (from July 1, 2013: EUR 3,282) without having to provide detailed evidence of its use.

On May 14, MPs from all parliamentary groups that were not affected by the allegations published a statement in which they protested against the sharpness of the public debate and reporting, for example against “denigrating the Bavarian state parliament as a 'free beer parliament', 'rip-offs Shop 'and' self-service shop '” .

On May 16, 2013, the Bavarian State Parliament decided on the basis of a draft law by the CSU and FDP parliamentary groups of April 24, 2013 and as then announced by Seehofer at the beginning of May, a more stringent law for members of the parliament, which would restrict the employment of family members from June 1, 2013 prohibited up to the fourth degree of kinship. Employing relatives of other members of parliament is also no longer permitted - here up to the third degree. As in the case of the German Bundestag, billing of the salaries of members of parliament's employees is to be carried out by the parliamentary administration (Landtag Office) from autumn. This should also apply to the billing of service and work contracts.

Until then, existing employment relationships of relatives, which were financed by the parliamentary allowance, had to be terminated.

Special report of the ORH

On August 12, 2013, the Bavarian Supreme Court of Auditors (ORH) published its special audit report on the implementation of the Bavarian Members' Act - BayAbgG - by the State Office. For the period 2010 to 2012 inclusive, the expenses for employing members of parliament (Art. 8 BayAbgG), the flat-rate fee (Art. 6 Paragraph 2 BayAbgG), the special expense allowance for officials (Art. 6 Paragraph 6 BayAbgG) and reimbursement for information and communication facilities (Art. 6 Para. 4 BayAbgG).

With regard to the so-called relatives affair, the ORH comes to the conclusion that the reimbursement of funds for the employment of spouses or relatives or first-degree by-laws should not have been made since the amendment of the BayAbgG of July 1, 2004, or without Legal basis was (continued) practiced.

On July 1, 2004, the previous legal regulation on employee compensation - Art. 6 Paragraph 7 Clause 2 BayAbgG (as amended on December 1, 2000) - was transferred to Art. 8 Paragraph 1 Clause 2 BayAbgG. According to Art. 8 Para. 1 Clause 2 BayAbgG (as amended on July 1, 2004) reimbursements for employment contracts of the MP with spouses, relatives and first-degree by-laws, as well as with civil partners, were clearly excluded under the Civil Partnership Act. The regulation made in Section 2 Clause 2 (BayAbgG as amended on December 1, 2000) for employment contracts concluded before December 1, 2000 (so-called "old cases") remained unchanged. The "old case regulation" was neither expressly adopted nor repealed in the new version. (It was not repealed until May 22, 2013). The exception regulation in § 2 sentence 2 (BayAbgG as amended on December 1, 2000), which explicitly referred to Article 6, Paragraph 7, Sentence 2 of the BayAbgG, did not apply after the amendment to the law of July 1, 2004, because this The exception regulation should now have referred to Art. 8 Para. 1 Clause 2 of the BayAbgG (as amended on July 1, 2004), since the previous Art. 6 Para. 7 Clause 2 of the BayAbgG has been repealed. However, this necessary subsequent change was not made. Thus, the employment of spouses, relatives and first degree by-laws was practiced (or continued) from July 1, 2004 without any legal basis.

The ORH therefore took the view that the reimbursements paid after July 1, 2004 for employment, service and work contracts with spouses, relatives and first degree by-laws should be reclaimed.

Judgment of the Bavarian Constitutional Court

In May 2014, the Bavarian Constitutional Court ruled that the Bavarian state government had to provide the state parliament opposition with information on how much money the five cabinet members Spaenle, Brunner, Merk, Pschierer, Sibler and Eck had paid their family members from budget funds. The state government was of the opinion that the state parliament office was responsible for answering. The world rated this as a "strong slap in the face for the state government".
