On July 9, 2014, all defendants were acquitted, although the Criminal Chamber had proven intent, or at least conditional intent, but found that the defendants had not crossed the "gray zone towards criminal liability". In the oral statement of the reasons for the verdict, the Criminal Chamber stated that it considered all the elements of the crime of breach of trust to have been fulfilled in the case of the defendants in relation to the Omega 55 business, but that the breaches of duty were not "serious and evident" enough for a conviction.

On October 12, 2016, the 5th Criminal Senate of the Federal Court of Justice overturned the acquittals and referred the case back to the Hamburg Regional Court. It stated that the Regional Court had incompletely examined the breaches of duty. It thus upheld the prosecution, which had appealed against the acquittals. In June 2019, the trial was finally discontinued subject to conditions (payment of a fine of 1.5 million euros).
