Immobilien: Gericht sieht Fluchtgefahr – Uwe Reppegather bleibt in Haft
Nach Ansicht des Oberlandesgerichts Düsseldorf besteht weiterhin dringender Tatverdacht. Zuletzt sollen neue Vorwürfe gegen den Düsseldorfer Immobilienunternehmer erhoben worden sein.
Düsseldorf – Uwe Reppegather, once a prominent figure in Germany's real estate sector, remains in custody after a Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court ruled there is still imminent flight risk and other urgent suspicion of wrongdoing. The decision followed a court examination, according to a spokesperson for the Handelsblatt.
Reppegather was initially detained in March during a large-scale raid at his family estate in Ibiza. Although he was released shortly after in Spain, he was arrested again upon his return to Germany in April. He has since been held in pre-trial detention. After six months, a review is scheduled under legal timeframes to determine if continued detention is warranted.
Reppegather was once one of the most influential players in the German real estate market. His high-profile luxury projects in Düsseldorf's Kö and Berlin's Ku'damm earned him nicknames like "Wolf of High Street" and "King of Kö". However, his fortunes changed dramatically in 2023 when he declared a billion-dollar bankruptcy. The prosecution suspects him of moving substantial assets during the insolvency, with potential damages in the double-digit millions.
