In short: Don't answer the police summons, don't even cancel it, just ignore it.
If the public prosecutor's office then writes to you with a case, you'll need a lawyer. If the public prosecutor's office writes to you to discontinue the proceedings (which has often happened), that's it.
The best thing to do is never play illegally again and never use your bank account again
Thank you very much, that's what I'll do. Keep your fingers crossed for me. How long does it take to get an answer? I have already read therd.
If you can spare a 1000 for a lawyer, then you're on the safe side. Otherwise you can only hope and wait.
Honestly, no money for a lawyer. But if the public prosecutor's office writes to you in any case. I hope it will be dropped, does anyone have any experience in Hessen?
I would also advise you to contact a lawyer, who will cancel your appointment with the police and demand to see the files.
In the worst case, simply ignoring it can be more expensive than a visit to the lawyer.
However, you really have to gather everything together and your lawyer must not conceal anything. Depending on the region and your file, the costs for a lawyer could also be less than 500€...I paid 120 - 150€ per visit & for each letter....
In many cases, the time of the offense also refers to the time after the bank has terminated an account and presumably also made a report. This means that payments made from the new account are also considered in these cases. Does this mean that these new accounts are identified and actively monitored following a report or are these more cases in which the new bank then also reports something and the authorities then become active due to the repeated report?
@Smiley16: Did the money come directly from a casino or the group behind it or was it paid by a financial service Provider such as Trustly or Inpay?
Do you have any experience as to whether this makes a difference? Theoretically, the service providers also process other payments, but presumably they also have to explain where the transferred money came from when asked by the police, right?

It makes no difference whether the money was paid out directly or via Inpay or Myfinity ect.

Well, it does make a difference whether it is worth the effort for the public prosecutor's office to investigate the service providers. If the accused does not provide any information.

I have only paid in and out via this and it has made no difference to me
