Aurubis: Long prison sentences in the Aurubis trial

According to the public prosecutor's office, the defendants who have now been convicted had sold scrap to the copper manufacturer at inflated prices following the same pattern, but earlier, namely between April 2012 and August 2016. The materials tester allegedly tampered with samples by sprinkling gold and silver powder over them. In return, he received more than 100,000 euros and two gold bars from the scrap dealer.
