The bailiff collects debts for his customers, the so-called creditors. But what if he diverts the money he has received to his own account?
Just like Frank S. (65). He sat in front of the district court on Monday for 107 infidelities. Damage: almost 240,000 euros.
The official, who has since been suspended, did not say many words about the actual deeds: Yes, he fully admits that … And then fighting back tears: “My life is in the A …”
When his boss was absent for a long time in 2016, Frank S. decided with “exaggerated self-confidence”: “I’ll stand in for him. I am the great leader.” And in doing so, he completely overreached himself…
He didn’t book at all for months, then through the night. And first transferred the funds to the office and private accounts. “I wanted to write the bills in the morning.” That resolution stuck. For two and a half years. Frank S.: “An overload syndrome.”
Why didn’t he go to the doctor? “In order not to take my problem to the outside world.” For the expert: “An ‘adjustment disorder…'” Reduced controllability (§ 21) cannot be ruled out.

Where did the diverted funds go? The investigator speaks of a checking account “often five-digit negative” and “excessive living costs”. The accused, on the other hand: “We did not lead a life of luxury. I had an old car… And 45,000 euros in back fees.”
The court sentenced him to two years probation. Half of the damage has already been removed. He also has to pay back the rest bit by bit. The civil service pension should be passé.
