Dear Monika!
Alfred asked me to write you a letter and I gladly will do so.
But let me first introduce myself briefly. (I am not native in english, so please do excuse the mistakes I will likely make)
My name is Daniel and I’m one of Alfred’s fellow inmates. I am in prison since 5th March 2018.
I worked in a Liechtenstein based private bank.
Germany was accusing me of laundering money and tax evasion.
I got sentenced to 5 years and 2 months prison.
Once the trial was over, Germany wanted to send me to
Austria to serve my time in an Austrian prison. I have an Austrian and a
Swiss citizenship by the way. Within this process of sending me to
Austria, the supreme court in Vienna had to review my case. They came to
the conclusion that I should not be in prison and that I am completely
innocent. In a phone call with my lawyer the Austrian judge who was
reviewing my case said:
"I have seen many absurd cases from Bavaria, but this is a totally new level of stupidity!"
