Casino frenzy in Bad Homburg: Investigation Into the Disappearance of Millions

The tranquillity of the paradise resort town of Bad Homburg is disrupted by a sensational case. It has recently come to light that the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt has initiated proceedings against three employees of the famous all-German Casino Bad Homburg. The case is gaining momentum. The three are alleged to have swindled millions from the casino. The investigation is ongoing. One of the three men has been in custody since late April. Those responsible for the casino in Bad Homburg are not yet willing to comment on the case.

The three accomplices, aged between 20 and 31, reportedly embezzled a total of €1.1 million from casino profits. The investigation into the three employees of the Hessian casino in Bad Homburg is well underway, according to a statement from Frankfurt's chief public prosecutor Nadia Niesen. However, the whereabouts of the money is not yet known. After all, one of the suspects may have been convicted back in April on the basis of video footage showing him at the proceeds of the Bad Homburg casino. The police arrested him shortly afterward. These events have caused a stir not only in the gambling world, as the casino https://utansvensklicens.casino/volt-casino/ with its 160 slot machines and a wide range of classic table games such as roulette, blackjack, and poker, is one of the most popular casinos in Sweden. What's more, the casino at the ancient resort in the German state of Hesse has a long history.

"The history of the casino in Bad Homburg goes back to 1841. At the time, the French banker and mathematician François Blanc established the casino together with his twin brother Louis. Thanks to the innovation, the brothers made a name for themselves and were noticed outside the country. To date, they are the only casino to have done away with the usual double zero in roulette, thus increasing players' chances of winning. It is therefore not surprising that the resort town has also attracted big-name guests. Among others, the then-Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky stayed at the casino. The spa and the casino made a lasting impression on him, as can be seen in his famous novel "The Gambler", in which he mentions Homburg. In 1872 the government of the German Empire passed a comprehensive ban on gambling, which initially meant that the casino in Bad Homburg had to close its doors. The founder of the casino, François Blanc, then went to Monaco and opened a world-famous casino there. The Casino Bad Homburg was reopened after the Second World War in 1949. As it was the predecessor of François Blanc, the casino still calls itself the "mother of Monte Carlo".

The money did not arrive in the account

The main suspect, who is already in custody, is reportedly a commercial employee of the casino. His activities included, among other things, the regular transfer of cash proceeds from the casino to the relevant bank account. However, in the case in question, although the profits were withdrawn from the casino vault, they were not deposited into the casino's bank account as usual. No further details on the course of the theft are yet known. Similarly, the role of the two suspected accomplices is still unclear. It is also unclear why the main suspect stole a huge amount of money in an area that he apparently knew was under video surveillance.

Bad Homburg casino has not commented on the incident

Detailed comments or statements on the sensational incident from François-Blanc Spielbank GmbH (FBS), the casino operator in Bad Homburg, have been sought in vain so far. Only a brief statement on the incident, referring to the ongoing investigation, was apparently decided and announced by the board of directors the night before when the case was published by the public prosecutor:

"We can confirm that there is a suspicion that an employee of François-Blanc Spielbank GmbH (FBS) acted in embezzlement. The suspected employee is no longer employed by the FBS".

François-Blanc Spielbank GmbH is a subsidiary of the municipal Kur- und Kongress GmbH, so 89 percent of the income is paid to the State of Hesse and the city of Bad Homburg in accordance with the Hesse Casino Act. With gross casino revenues in Bad Homburg (2017) of around €27 million, the misappropriated €1.1 million is almost equal to the casino's annual income. Further research, in this case, will certainly answer some open questions. Maybe this is why the former casino employees chose their own place of work for their scam, even though they should have known better than anyone else how well endowed the casino was.
