Much fewer “blossoms” in Bavaria – Bavaria

In Bavaria, investigators found significantly less counterfeit money in 2021 than in the previous year. The State Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA) announced that around 13,100 counterfeit euro bills had been seized by mid-December. In 2020, the investigators found around 21,500 flowers. An LKA spokeswoman named the pandemic as one of the reasons for the decline: Many people would have paid cashless more often than before because of corresponding requests in shops. In addition, large amounts of counterfeit money were seized in Italy in the Naples area in 2021, which would otherwise have reached Germany. “On the basis of the number of cases known to the police, it is estimated that more than half of the counterfeit money seized in Bavaria is now acquired over the Internet or Darknet,” it said. Equipment for the production of counterfeit money, printing templates and instructions are also increasingly available there. They discovered the biggest find of the year in the Kehlheim district: 1793 notes with a face value of 50 euros and an equivalent of almost 90,000 euros. Five suspects were arrested in connection with this.
