Combating corruption

Combating corruption

Corruption undermines trust in the integrity and functioning of the state. It also causes considerable economic damage. The aim of the Saarpfalz district is to effectively prevent and resolutely combat corruption.

The Saarpfalz district has therefore issued guidelines to combat corruption and appointed an anti-corruption officer, a deputy and a confidential counsellor.

Anti-corruption guidelines

Mr Thomas Storck was appointed as the Anti-Corruption Officer . Mrs Bettina Scheunig is the deputy anti-corruption officer. The Anti-Corruption Officer and his deputy are available to the employees of the district administration as contact persons for all questions relating to the topic of "combating corruption" (acceptance of gifts, suspected acceptance of benefits, etc.).

The self-employed and independent lawyer Martin Schröder has been appointed as a permanent and non-official point of contact for reporting potential fraud and corruption issues relating to the Saarpfalz-Kreis district administration as a lawyer of confidence who is not subject to any instructions from the Saarpfalz-Kreis regarding the content of the case. Anyone can contact the lawyer of confidence and inform him of confidential matters that give rise to suspicions of misconduct against the Saarpfalz-Kreis by employees, customers, business partners or recipients of funding in the form of fraud and corruption. The confidential counsellor accepts the facts reported to him, records them and investigates the matter. Without the express consent of the person making the report, the lawyer of confidence will not forward the matter to the public prosecutor's office.
