Untreuprozess: Richtlinien „praxisuntauglich“: Richterin kritisiert Deutsche Bank bei Verurteilung von Ex-Manager
Ein Private-Banking-Mitarbeiter hat 626.000 Euro von vermögenden Kunden abgezweigt. Die Richterin nennt die internen Kontrollmechanismen der Bank „im Wesentlichen praxisuntauglich“.
In a recent verdict, a former Deutsche Bank employee, Sven R., was sentenced to two years in prison for embezzling over 626,000 euros from the bank's customers between 2023 and 2025. The punishment was suspended, and R. will serve his time under probation for three years. The ex-bank manager was the head of a Private-Banking team at the Frankfurt Taunusanlage branch, located on the ground floor of the Deutsche Bank's central office.
The Landgericht Frankfurt, the court handling the case, criticized Deutsche Bank's guidelines as "practically useless." According to the presiding judge, while there were security measures in place, they were easy to bypass, and there was no internal system to prevent such occurrences. The court emphasized that Deutsche Bank had made it easy for R. to operate on its customer accounts.
