Heilbronn in fraud fever: Police smash a driver's license network!
An extensive fraud network around a Heilbronn driving school was uncovered and smashed by the police. The investigation that has been running since January 2025 have now led to a large -scale operation, in which a total of 29 objects were searched in five federal states and Bulgaria on June 25, 2025. 12 people were arrested. The police assume one of the larger cases in the field of driver's license fraud, such as TÜV informed.
The network was organized in such a way that hundreds of applicants received theoretical leadership certificates, although they could neither show language skills nor the necessary training. A 52-year-old driving school owner from Heilbronn is the focus of the investigation, supported by his sons and several coordinators. A 38-year-old Bulgarian conveyed learner drivers without theory lessons, while a 37-year-old Syrian acted as the central organizer of the deputy.
The fraud stitch
One of the main tricks of the network was the implementation of deputy exams. False test subjects with ID documents from other people competed for theoretical examination. It was particularly challenging for the examiners because the deputies were selected so that they met the requirements of the examiners. According to Deputies were sometimes even sent home, for abnormalities Avoid.
The costs for the illegal obtaining a driver's license were up to 5,000 euros. In Heilbronn and Göppingen, driving schools were discovered that issued incorrect participation certificates. A high degree of planning and consideration for the examiners was shown.
reactions of the authorities
The Baden-Württemberg driving instructor association was concerned about the new dimensions of the fraud. Chairman Jochen Klink asked to remove perpetrators from the apprenticeship. The driving license office of the city of Heilbronn is closely networked with the police and included in the investigation. Possible measures against those affected include the withdrawal of the driver's license and the arrangement of a medical-psychological examination (MPU).
The allegations have also revealed a high “number of unreported cases” of non -discovered fraud attempts. It is assumed that further cases could remain undetected, which underlines the need for increased controls and training for the examiners, such as TÜV Süd emphasized.
In the searches, the investigators were able to ensure a variety of evidence. This includes cash, gold coins, high -quality vehicles such as BMW, Lamborghini and Audi as well as technical devices and relevant documents. All driving permits obtained under these circumstances must now be checked and, if necessary, withdrawn to ensure the safety in road traffic.
