Important state sessions: education, integration and traffic in focus!

Today, on March 17, 2025, there are significant hearings and meetings on the agenda in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia. This week, various committees will deal with current and explosive topics that interest both the public and experts.

The central listening of the expert lists includes protection against water and the fight against cum-cum business. These financial practices, which are considered the greatest financial crime in the history of Germany, have been represented in the daily news for some time, but remain a meaningful point in political discourse. According to reports, Cum-Ex and Cum-Cum-Cum business have led to unauthorized refunds of capital gains taxes that have caused considerable damage to the state. The failure of the Federal Ministry of Finance is particularly striking to share a list of 566 potential perpetrators of the CUM-EX fraud with the Cologne public prosecutor. These processes are still the focus of various investigations, which are in financial, civil and criminal jurisdiction. rsw.beck.de explains the procedural details and the difficulties in dealing with these cases.
