But I didn’t promise any concrete negotiations, only benevolence during checks on Imtech’s additional claims. It was wrong,” said Francis G. at the beginning of the trial in Cottbus. Prosecutors accuse Francis G. of taking the money at a carpark off the Autobahn shortly before Christmas 2012. They alleged that he allowed the Imtech claims for additional payments to go through without being checked.
