Alfons Schuhbeck: Munich star chef temporarily free

Previously, several media outlets had reported that Schuhbeck had been seen in downtown Munich. Schuhbeck was scheduled to begin his prison sentence in August 2023 at Landsberg am Lech Correctional Facility.

Schuhbeck expressed remorse

The Munich I Regional Court sentenced Schuhbeck to the sentence in October 2022. The judges were convinced that the now 76-year-old evaded €2.3 million in taxes and stole cash from two of his restaurants more than 1,000 times to make money disappear. He admitted to using a computer program created on his behalf by an employee.
