February 13th 2001
As soon as he was notified his sentence, Dr Krombach had referred the matter to The European Court of Human Rights. The French legislation of trial in absentia being considered inequitable, France is condemned to pay him 100.000 F. A. Bamberski demands that France should ask for the transfer of this decision to the Great Chamber.

January 18th 2002
André Bamberski asks France to block the 100.000 F owed to Dr Grombach, since the latter has never paid him (A. Bamberski) the sums allocated to him by the Assize Court of Paris. But on January 18th 2002, the Paris Court “of Grande instance” decides to reject A. Bamberski’s request, on the grounds that the judgement of the Paris Assize Court of March 13th 1995 was sanctioned by the European court of Human Rights, and can no longer be considered an enforceable decision.

April 2nd 2002
In spite of many requests for the re-examination of the 1995 trial (the necessity of this re-examination been obvious since this trial was sanctioned by Europe), the Minister of Justice, in a restrictive interpretation of article 626 which in fact leaves this possibility open, refuses to ask for the re-examination of D. Krombach‘s trial.

August 2002
André Bamberski brings an “action against persons unknown”, in which he implicates in particular three senior French judges. The complaint refers especially to a report in which Krombach ’s counsel writes that the Paris “parquet” (public prosecutor’s department) gave him the assurance that the sentence would not be enforced”. André Bamberski shows that such was the case.

May 2003
France transfers the whole case to Germany “for the purpose of prosecution”.

June 2003
The reply of the judge to André Bamberski‘s complaint is nearly a total refusal to investigate. She considers that most of the facts he denounces are “offences” (lapsed) whereas she does not take into account the corruption of judges, which is a “crime” (indefeasible). In June 2003, A. Bamberski appeals against this refusal.

Years 2005-2006

November 20th 2006
D. Krombach is emprisoned after a complaint for illegal practice of medicine has been brought before the Prosecutor’s department of Coburg. A national investigation reveals 28 cases of illegal practice in various clinics of Germany, and a complaint for sexual abuse in one of them.
