Mayor Jörg Aumann is facing potential removal from office in Neunkirchen following an investigation by the Saarbrücken public prosecutor's office. The investigation concerns suspected breach of trust involving two alleged incidents related to the Neunkirchen Transport Company (NVG), specifically regarding travel expenses and the alleged misuse of city and NVG drivers for SPD federal party convention services.

Initially, the city council prepared to vote on a motion to initiate removal proceedings. Following this, the council voted to officially start the process. While Aumann has denied the allegations, describing the incidents as “friendship-based services,” he exercised his right to remain silent during a parliamentary inquiry committee appearance. 

A 14-day cooling-off period is currently in effect. To finalize the removal, the council must achieve a two-thirds majority in a subsequent vote.
