Fc stockach has learned from the “heel case

FC stockach had reported the club treasurer and ex-chamberman of the market town of igensdorf for embezzlement of 10,000 euros. The lawsuit was dropped a year ago and peter heel was acquitted of the charge. This ruling was made a year ago, but is still on the minds of the burgers. The case could complicate the election campaign for mayoral candidate uwe zollikofer.

For the IU candidate is associated mainly with the sports club FC stockach, whose chairman is still until the end of the year. Uwe zollikofer is nevertheless confident. "The peter heel case has been closed for a year now. We have nothing to reproach ourselves for, but we have become wiser and now act according to the four-eye principle", emphasizes zollikofer. The association filed a complaint against the former municipal chamberlain for misappropriation of funds in the amount of 10,000 euros.

Settlement rejected

At a hearing at the regional court in kempten, the association disclosed all documents. The opposing party was asked to enter into talks with FC stockach. A comparative offer of 1000 euros was then made to the club. "We have rejected this", reports zollikofer, but there was a tenfold claim, which is why the matter went to court. The charge was embezzlement. "The cashier was always a position of trust.", says zollikofer.

Signatures

A working group of the sports club invested a lot of time and effort in collecting all the documents. With the help of accounting lists, the amount could also be proven. "But he even doubted his own signature.", zollikofer recalls. Unspokenly, heel insinuated that the club had forged his signature.

The story would have turned out differently if the association had applied the four-eyes principle at events. Not one signature hour then on the receipt, but two. "We have learned from it and now it is handled in such a way", explains the chairman of the association.

"There were probably some things that went wrong, but you can’t prove anything against them", zollikofer quotes the judge’s ruling. "Peter heel was unfortunately acquitted, says zollikofer.

Revision waived

An appeal had little chance of success, which is why the association decided against it. Nevertheless, the association had developed well under zollikofer’s tenure."We are in a good position, also financially", says zollikofer, who was elected to the 31. December resigns the office of chairman when the ongoing new construction of the sports home is completed.
