No.
Best not to make any statement at all and let lawyer do it.

So if the house bank calls me and asks where the money comes from directly take a lawyer? Many banks do not care. I really get a problem if I do not prove it, right?

If the bank asks you then you can say that the money does not come from illegal activities and you comply with the reporting obligation to the Bundesbank and tax authorities independently if this is required. This is usually enough, it is none of the bank's business where you get your money from, it just has to be legal.

Why the tax authorities?

Why the financial authorities?

If it is interest income or something else that is taxable in Germany then you are responsible for forwarding this to the tax office.

You don't have to give information to your bank or to the police.
Everything you say can speak against you.

A specialist lawyer can make a call and put an end to it from the beginning before the stress starts.

You just have to be smart in life.

Just do not believe that there are friends and certainly not with authorities banks or other

Is this the case with online casino wins? What do I have to report? Thought everything would be tax free!

If the money actually comes from online arcade wins, then it is proven with the appropriate receipts, or am I wrong? What else can a lawyer say about it? I'm starting to feel like I'm a criminal just because I gamble online

You have to make a report to the Bundesbank for all amounts that come from abroad over 12,000 € I think

But that takes place anonymously and serves only the statistics

Criminal case has been dropped with a fine. The garnishment was lifted and the money is free.
