Beginning on 14 July 2008, Frank Nauheimer, who only days earlier had turned himself in to the Mainz State Prosecutor, found himself in custody at the Rohrbach detention centre in Wöllstein.

On 13 January 2009, Frank Nauheimer was sentenced by the Mainz State Court to a prison term of four years.

The case caused a sensation, as Frank Nauheimer had been admired as an outstanding politician who had an illustrious career behind him and had been greatly respected in his municipality.
