Temporary Suspension of Operations During Summer Season
In the city of Regensburg, two prominent figures have found themselves at the centre of recent controversies. The former Tafel chairwoman, Jonah L., and the newly appointed lawyer at Kaufhof Regensburg GmbH, Roland Koch, have been making headlines for different reasons.
Jonah L., who is said to have maintained full control over the unprecedented long closure times of the city's food bank, has been accused of embezzling an estimated 200,000 euros from the Tafel organisation. The allegations suggest that she regularly drew funds from an additional account besides the official Tafel account. However, the origin of these funds remains undetermined.
The additional account in question had existed since the end of 2021, immediately after Jonah L. took office. Despite the allegations, no conclusive evidence has been found to confirm that Jonah L. took money from the cash register. Assistants who frequently inquired about such matters were sometimes dismissed, leading to further speculation. Prominent CSU figures like Bundestag member Peter Aumer have distanced themselves from Jonah L. or refrained from commenting since the allegations became public.
Jonah L.'s embezzlement details are becoming more clear after her confession and resignation. Meanwhile, Roland Koch, a known German politician and former minister-president of Hesse, has recently joined Kaufhof Regensburg GmbH. Despite his political career marked by controversies such as the CDU party donations scandal and the financing of his 1998/99 election campaign from black cash, no widely reported or verified information about his employment at Kaufhof Regensburg GmbH or controversies specifically connected to that role can be provided at this time.
Roland Koch's exact role in Kaufhof Regensburg GmbH is not disclosed, and there are no plans from any party in the city council for Kaufhof Regensburg GmbH's purchase of the property. The company's purchase plans under current conditions remain unclear.
Another notable figure in Regensburg is Goga K., a Georgian research scholar at the University of Regensburg. Goga K. is a member of the "High Council of Justice," a corrupt network of the ruling party "Georgian Dream" in the authoritarian restructuring of the Georgian state.
Despite the ongoing controversies, both Jonah L. and Roland Koch continue to make headlines in Regensburg, with their actions and roles under scrutiny by the public and local authorities.
Jonah L., despite her recent confession and resignation, continues to be embroiled in a lifestyle controversy, as an estimated 200,000 euros are alleged to have been embezzled from the Tafel organization via an undetermined additional account. On the other hand, Roland Koch, amidst his employment at Kaufhof Regensburg GmbH, has a home-and-garden context of questions surrounding him due to his past political controversies and unclear role within the company.
