Wegen mutmaßlicher Geldwäsche in Millionenhöhe hat die bayerische Polizei zwei Banken und eine Firma durchsucht. Dabei handelte es sich um zwei Objekte in Bayern und eines in Hessen, wie die Polizei in Augsburg mitteilte.

Overview

  • Police carried out synchronized searches at 9 a.m. Tuesday in Kempten, Dietmannsried and Neu‑Isenburg, targeting two banks and a company.
  • The case focuses on three suspects aged 46, 49 and 60 on suspicion of laundering money, with alleged losses in the lower seven‑figure range.
  • Prosecutors in Augsburg led the action with police from Augsburg, Kempten and Southeast Hesse to seize transaction records that can map money flows.
  • No one is in pretrial custody because police say there is no risk of flight or of destroying evidence.
  • Officials are checking a possible link to Kempten’s parking‑meter scandal, which they have not confirmed, as investigators continue to review what they seized.
