LBBW: Cum-Ex: Twenty years after the acts and no trial in sight
The charges against two former LBBW bankers have been pending for a year. However, the court will not decide whether it will go to trial until the end of 2026 at the earliest. There are already beneficiaries of the pending situation.
The tax fraud trial of two former Landesbank Baden-Württemberg (LBBW) bankers, accused of evading over €150 million in taxes through Cum-Ex deals from 2006 to 2008, has yet to start. The trial, which is expected to be the largest tax fraud case in the state, is currently in the intermediate stage, with the court deciding whether to open the main proceedings.
A court spokesperson said it is unclear when a decision will be made, suggesting a revisit in late 2026. The LBBW previously admitted to tax evasion and repaid the money in 2014.
