Rostock - District court verdict for ex-nursing home manager: eight years in prison

The Rostock Regional Court has sentenced a former nursing home operator to eight years in prison for fraud involving millions of euros at the expense of health insurance companies. On Monday, the criminal court included a four-year prison sentence that the 37-year-old has been serving since May of this year. According to the verdict, five months will be counted as served due to the excessive length of the proceedings. The defendant was guilty of commercial fraud in 76 cases, said Judge Peter Goebels in justification.

With its verdict, the court fell short of the prosecution's demand for a total prison sentence of ten years. The defense lawyer had pleaded for acquittal.
