Police Raid Five Görlitz Sites Linked to Stefan Menzel, Seize Gambling Machines

Investigators cite suspected economic and financial offenses linked to an ongoing case from last year's raids.

Overview

  • Searches began Wednesday morning at five properties in Görlitz associated with the entrepreneur, according to police and prosecutors.
  • Authorities say the action targets suspected violations in the financial and economic sphere.
  • Investigators confiscated gambling machines after clarifying asset ownership at the locations.
  • The operation involved the public prosecutor’s office, the criminal police, and a police operational unit.
  • June 2025 raids on 11 sites yielded hundreds of thousands of euros and a Mercedes G‑Class, and prosecutors have since filed initial charges including alleged tax evasion, illegal gambling, and attempted fraud.
