Security Firm Ordered to Pay Nearly €1 Million Over Missing Coins

The Stuttgart court ruled in favor of Heidenheimer Volksbank, though the decision is not yet legally binding, as investigations into additional thefts continue.

Large quantities of coins, primarily two-euro coins, disappeared from a security company's premises between 2021 and 2022 before they could be delivered to the Bundesbank.
The Stuttgart Regional Court has ordered the security company to compensate Heidenheimer Volksbank nearly €1 million for the missing funds.
The court's decision is not yet legally binding, and the whereabouts of the stolen coins remain unknown.
Two additional lawsuits against the security company are ongoing, involving missing funds of €350,000 and €1.7 million, the latter linked to a staged robbery in Ludwigsburg.
The security company, which discovered and reported the missing funds, declined to comment on the allegations or ongoing legal proceedings.
