Investment fraud under German law – your rights and legal options

Investment fraud is a special form of fraud, regulated in Section 264a of the German Criminal Code. 

Anyone who provides false, advantageous information to a large group of people or conceals adverse facts that significantly influence the decision to acquire capital market investments such as securities or company shares is punishable by law. This form of fraud can be punished with a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine.

Do you suspect you've been the victim of investment fraud? Don't hesitate to contact an experienced attorney immediately. Acting quickly can be crucial to minimizing financial losses. A chargeback or a refund through credit card protection may still be possible. Keep all relevant documents carefully.

Our specialized team of lawyers specializing in banking and capital markets law will help you identify the perpetrators and work closely with the authorities to freeze bank accounts and secure your assets. We represent you both in and out of court – worldwide and across borders – to recover your investments.

We will take care of your case – quickly & with commitment.

Preventing investment fraud – How to protect yourself effectively

Investment fraud is often difficult to detect due to the sophisticated nature of the schemes. However, with the right preventative measures, you can effectively protect yourself. Beware of unrealistic return promises: Very high returns, especially for investments abroad, are often dubious. Have offers reviewed by investment experts and avoid excessive commission rates. Our specialist lawyers will advise you comprehensively. Reputable investments always include risk warnings. If an agent refuses to discuss risks, caution is advised. Make sure you are fully informed about the level of risk in advance. Fraud cases involving foreign investments are more difficult to prosecute. Nevertheless, you should not hesitate to take legal action here either. Our law firm specializing in banking and capital markets law will support you in asserting your claims. Investment agents who refuse to meet in person are a warning sign. Do not allow yourself to be pressured and consult external experts before investing.

Avoid hasty decisions and work exclusively with reputable brokers. If you have any doubts, our investment and capital markets lawyers will thoroughly and reliably review your offer.

Let our experts investigate suspicious cases to protect your investments. We provide comprehensive advice on preventative measures and actions to take if fraud is suspected.
