SCANDAL! 1.3 million euros disappeared – police comb Winterbach!

An incredible drama unfolds in Winterbach! On Tuesday, July 8th, 2025, the police broke into the rooms of “WSD Security”, a security service that is now accused of insurance fraud, with a sensational raid. What exactly happened and where is the missing money?

In the investigators' sights: The shocking sum of 1.3 million euros, which is said to be buried in stolen coins! The detailed searches of the business premises and even the private homes of the directors have shed a shocking light on the machinations of this company. Those responsible vehemently rejected the allegations and are defending themselves - but will that be enough?

A scandalous theft

The situation continues to escalate! In a courtroom in Stuttgart, the story about five tons of stolen coins runs like a common thread through the negotiations. Employees of “WSD Security” are said to have stolen an incredible 650,000 two-euro coins worth 1.3 million euros. And the weight of the loot exceeds five tons! This is a catastrophic situation for Volksbank Heidenheim, which was defrauded of 912,000 euros, a truly shocking scenario!

Volksbank is now counting on its rights and is suing “WSD Security” while the insurance companies refuse to pay. The lawsuit is being heard in the Stuttgart regional court, and the lawyer for the “WSD” boss offers a scandalous settlement: everyone will pay one sixth of the damage. But will the insurance companies even play along? Unclear! The situation threatens to throw the entire city into turmoil!

The slippery shadow of deceit

How far does fraud really go? A recent analysis shows that insurance fraudsters' methods have changed while their motives have remained the same. Internet forums offer perpetrators a golden opportunity to find out about credible damage reports. Nowadays even that is organized better than you might think. And where there is suspicion, the insurance companies are already investigating!

Courts are arming themselves against increasingly sophisticated fraud attempts. Color and infrared video imaging systems identify counterfeits - and lawyers meticulously check the plausibility of each case. “WSD Security” appears to be caught in the web of surveillance and could have to pay a high price for its machinations.

Will the truth about the wantonness, the fraud and the missing millions finally come to light? A scandalous spectacle that keeps the Stuttgart region in suspense! Citizens are excited to see what verdict the regional court will make in three weeks.
