The criminal case was dropped in October 2014.

Arbitration suit on the EnBW affair

On February 16, 2012, Baden-Württemberg's Finance Minister and Vice-Prime Minister Nils Schmid (SPD) filed for arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce (Paris) one day before the deadline .

The arbitral tribunal, made up of a representative from both sides and a jointly appointed chairman, has the powers and powers of an ordinary court. In May 2016, the Stuttgart Ministry of Finance announced that the international arbitration tribunal ICC had rejected the state of Baden-Württemberg's claim for repayment of part of the purchase price. The arbitration had requested a repayment of 800 million euros.
