Betrugsverfahren: Deutscher Unternehmer Wanja Oberhof gegen Millionenkaution frei
Der deutsche Unternehmer und Seriengründer ist wieder aus dem US-Gefängnis entlassen worden – unter strengen Auflagen. Für seine Freilassung sorgten zwei Berliner Bürgen.
Köln – US authorities have released 40-year-old German entrepreneur Wanja Oberhof after about a week in custody, according to his brother-in-law and Berlin attorney Hans-Georg Oelmann. Oberhof's wife and business partner, model Anabel "Bella" Oelmann, is 29 years old. The US prison authority's website confirms Oberhof's release on September 21, with the registration number 51152-506.
Oelmann confirmed to Reuters that he has pledged his own financial guarantee for his son-in-law's release. He is one of two sureties for a $2 million bail. Oelmann is a lawyer and tax advisor with his own firm in Berlin, and he plays a prominent role in the city's cultural scene as the managing director of the Museum & Location Event Corporation.
He is responsible for the rental of exhibition spaces in Berlin's State Museums and has coordinated the financing of major exhibitions as the longtime treasurer of the "Friends of the National Gallery" association. The second guarantee was provided by an unidentified entrepreneur from Berlin.
