Legal proceedings against Andreas Scheuer regarding car-toll

Overview

The Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office has filed charges against former German Federal Minister of Transport Andreas Scheuer. The CSU politician is accused of providing a false, unsworn statement to a Bundestag inquiry committee regarding the car-toll (Pkw-Maut) project.

Following these charges, the Berlin Landgericht has scheduled a trial for Scheuer and former state secretary Gerhard Schulz. The court has set twelve trial days starting on 21 September, with a potential verdict on 25 November. Prosecutors allege that both individuals gave false testimony to a parliamentary inquiry investigating the failed toll project, which the European Court of Justice declared illegal in 2019.

Both defendants deny the accusations and maintain their presumption of innocence.
