Stuttgart, Germany – In a stunning twist that exposes the depths of political corruption and prosecutorial abuse in Germany, “Querdenken” founder Michael Ballweg – once vilified and jailed for alleged donation fraud and tax evasion – is now set to receive a €200,000 refund from the tax authorities. That’s right: the same system that locked him up for nearly a year now admits it owes him money.
Germany June 2025:
Political lawfare is officially back! Originally jailed and held in custody for >tax evasion< – it just turned out on recalculation, Michael Ballweg overpayed 200.000€ in taxes… https://t.co/VcJZ7Qhy60 pic.twitter.com/B03QS4mr28— Seven of Nine, MD

The revelation comes after a Stuttgart court ordered the tax office to finally provide a concrete calculation of the supposed “tax evasion.” The result? Not only were the claims baseless, but the state had actually taken far too much from Ballweg. The case, branded as a major legal scandal, is now unraveling with political fingerprints all over it.
According to renowned economist Prof. Stefan Homburg, who has been following the case closely, the accusations have “collapsed like a soufflé.” He points to documents and witness testimony suggesting a coordinated political campaign from within the Green-led government of Baden-Württemberg – including senior officials in the Finance Ministry – aimed at crushing anti-lockdown protests and silencing dissent.
“This wasn’t about tax law,” one process observer commented on X. “This was about punishing a government critic. Pure and simple.”
Reports allege that finance and justice officials operated hand-in-hand to fabricate a case against Ballweg, weaponizing state institutions to attack someone who dared to challenge the lockdown regime during the COVID era. One government official, under oath, even claimed not to remember the name of his own superior – a move critics call a blatant cover-up.
And while Ballweg is now owed a six-figure sum and vindicated by the very calculations his accusers once demanded, the case against him still hasn’t been officially dropped. Legal experts say prosecutors may be stalling to avoid consequences for their own misconduct, hoping to run out the statute of limitations.
This is more than a legal blunder – it’s a judicial earthquake. Germany’s supposed rule-of-law is now under heavy scrutiny, as the Ballweg case shines a light on what looks increasingly like a politically motivated witch hunt.
Justizskandal erster Klasse: @Michael_Ballweg saß neun Monate völlig unschuldig im Knast!
Derselbe Staat, der ihn
– ohne Urteil
– wegen angeb. Steuerhinterziehung
eingesperrt hat,ihm tatsächlich selbst 200.000 Euro schuldet!
Das ist Missbrauch der Justiz gegen die… https://t.co/S5JTb6fKfb

The question remains: Who will be held accountable for the false imprisonment, the character assassination, and the blatant abuse of power? And where are the mainstream media now that the narrative has collapsed?
If this happened in Hungary or Poland, there would be EU outcries, emergency resolutions, and headline news. But since it happened in Green-ruled Germany – silence. Only one political party in Germany has consistently spoken out against the government’s treatment of Michael Ballweg: the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland).
AfD Member of the European Parliament Petr Bystron has repeatedly denounced Ballweg’s imprisonment as a judicial scandal.
“Ballweg spent nine months behind bars,” Bystron stated. “And now it turns out that the very same state that jailed him without a court verdict, on baseless accusations of tax evasion, actually owes him money. This is a textbook case of government-driven abuse of justice and political repression against opposition voices in Germany.”
Bystron’s comments highlight what many critics now call the weaponization of the legal system against dissenters — a growing concern in a country that once prided itself on democratic values and the rule of law.
This is what political persecution looks like in a modern European democracy. And it’s time the world paid attention.
