Josef Ackermann is recorded in this register under the heading “Court record”, in connection with the role of Former chief executive, Deutsche Bank. The entry is filed to Frankfurt · Zurich (Germany), which is the location associated with the role in the published material rather than a statement of present residence or employment.
Included as a matter of public record in European banking-governance proceedings. No criminal finding was recorded. The register reproduces the substance of the linked source and does not extend it. Where a matter has been appealed, reopened, or closed without findings, that position is stated as the source states it, and the summary line for this entry reads: “Tried in the Mannesmann bonus proceedings; the case ended in 2006 with a settlement and no conviction.”
The entry rests on a published judicial decision or an established news agency report of one. It records the finding as the court expressed it, and nothing beyond it. Readers assessing counterparty, employment or reputational risk should treat this page as a signpost to the primary material — cited here as Düsseldorf Regional Court / Reuters — and should verify current status directly with the issuing court, authority or publisher before acting. Corrections and right-of-reply requests are handled through the register's legal notice.
