Gerhard Schulz
Gerhard Schulz, a former state secretary in Germany's Ministry of Transport, is currently facing legal challenges alongside former Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer. The Berlin public prosecutor's office has charged Schulz with making an untruthful statement before the Bundestag's inquiry committee regarding the failed introduction of a toll system for cars. This toll system, a project of the Christian Social Union (CSU) during Angela Merkel's government, was deemed illegal by the European Court of Justice in 2019. Schulz's alleged false testimony is part of a broader investigation into the mishandling of the toll project and its financial implications for taxpayers.
