Outcomes range from fines to prison sentences, with or without suspension. Asset measures such as <em>confiscation<\/em> (Sections 73 ff. StGB) can be economically far-reaching. Professional realities may be affected by judgments, entries in registers and collateral effects such as director disqualification. At the corporate level, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/corporate-fines-and-supervision-duties-under-%C2%A7%C2%A7-30-130-owig\/\">corporate fines under Section 30 OWiG and supervisory-duty allegations under Section 130 OWiG<\/a> can arise alongside register-law consequences (e.g., competition register). Controlling the procedure efficiently is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution: Defence with Analytical Precision and Tactical Restraint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Economic-crime allegations are typically fact- and expert-driven. We emphasise precise legal subsumption and a reliable evidence base. For instance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/fraud-%C2%A7-263-stgb-betrug\/\">fraud<\/a> offence requires deception, error, disposition and loss; the debate often lies in distinguishing mere civil non-performance from criminal pecuniary damage. In <em>breach of trust<\/em>, the focus is on the duty to safeguard assets and its breach. For Section 266a StGB, one must distinguish between employee and employer contributions. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/vat-carousel-fraud-umsatzsteuerkarusell\/\">carousel cases<\/a>, assessment centres on knowledge and integration into an intentional structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Procedure: From First Intervention to Remedies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Initial Phase: Managing Raids, Seizure and Detention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make no statements without counsel; exercise the right to remain silent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scrutinise the legal basis of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/search-during-criminal-investigations-rights-procedure-defence-durchsuchung\/\">searches<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/seizure-in-criminal-proceedings\/\">seizure<\/a>; document the process and safeguard privileged material.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For witnesses, clarify <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/witness-zeuge\/\">witness<\/a> rights; for accused persons, prioritise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/access-to-files-section-147-german-code-of-criminal-procedure-stpo\/\">access to the file<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In case of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/arrest-warrant-haftbefehl\/\">arrest warrant<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/preliminary-arrest\/\">preliminary arrest<\/a>, ensure prompt judicial presentation and test grounds such as flight-risk with care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal &amp; Factual Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We analyse elements of the offence, causation and damage calculation with rigour. In balance-sheet cases we address valuation issues; in insolvency contexts we examine insolvency maturity (illiquidity\/over-indebtedness) and deadlines (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/delay-in-filing-for-insolvency-insolvenzverschleppung\/\">delay in filing for insolvency<\/a>). In cryptocurrency matters we focus on transaction tracing, wallet attribution and fiscal qualification (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/bitcoin-and-criminal-confiscation\/\">Bitcoin &amp; confiscation<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main Hearing and Legal Remedies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We file evidence motions in time, scrutinise sentencing and preserve the record for appeals. Where possible we work towards dismissals under Section 170(2) StPO, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-buchert.de\/en\/legal-dictionary\/application-for-the-dismissal-of-criminal-proceedings\/\">Section 153 StPO<\/a> or Section 153a StPO.
