The Federal Constitutional Court dismissed the constitutional complaint as unfounded, upholding the challenged Lower Court rulings. The complainants had contested search and seizure orders issued in connection with stock acquisitions spanning the dividend record date (Cum/Ex transactions), arguing that the authorities lacked a sufficient suspicion of serious joint tax evasion. The Court held that the regional court's rejection of the complaints against these coercive measures was constitutionally unobjectionable, as the General State Prosecutor's assessment of a concrete suspicion of particularly serious co-perpetration of tax evasion satisfied the requirements of the principle of legal certainty, the prohibition of arbitrary action, and the protections for property and professional activity under the Basic Law.

Testo completo

Nichtannahmebeschluss mit Tenorbegründung: Durchsuchungs- und Beschlagnahmeanordnungen im Zusammenhang mit sog Cum-/Ex-Geschäften - keine verfassungsrechtlichen Bedenken gegen Annahme eines hinreichenden Tatverdachts der besonders schweren mittäterschaftlichen Steuerhinterziehung

[TENOR]

Die Verfassungsbeschwerde wird nicht zur Entscheidung angenommen. Sie ist unbegründet. Die angegriffenen Beschlüsse des Landgerichts, mit denen Beschwerden gegen Durchsuchungs- und Beschlagnahmeanordnungen im Zusammenhang mit Aktienkäufen über den Dividendenstichtag (so genannte Cum-/Ex-Geschäfte) unter Bezugnahme auf eine Stellungnahme der Generalstaatsanwaltschaft Frankfurt am Main vom 7. Februar 2013 als unbegründet verworfen werden, weil der Tatverdacht der besonders schweren mittäterschaftlichen Steuerhinterziehung gegeben sei, sind verfassungsrechtlich (Art. 103 Abs. 1, Art. 103 Abs. 2, Art. 13 Abs. 1 und 2, Art. 12 GG) nicht zu beanstanden.

Diese Entscheidung ist unanfechtbar.
