Justice: Wind power fraudster Holt on the run after being released
Convicted to prison for the New Year's imprisonment Hendrik Holt has not returned after a prison leave. Now the police are searching for the fugitive.
Hendrik Holt, a 36-year-old convicted wind power fraudster from Haselünne, has gone missing. He failed to return to the Berlin prison from a permitted leave, prompting the Osnabrück prosecutor's office to assume he has fled. Holt was sentenced to almost nine years in prison by the Osnabrück Regional Court in 2022 for gang fraud, bribery, and document forgery. He had allegedly sold non-existent wind farms to foreign electricity companies and bribed foreign diplomats to obtain a diplomatic passport.
