The Cologne public prosecutor has told Van magazine that the city’s former general music director, François-Xavier Roth, is no longer under criminal investigation.
There were insufficient grounds for suspicion, the prosecutor said. Roth, 52, had been accused by female orchestra members of sending them unsolicited intimate selfies.
Roth issued a public apology for ‘mistakes’. His career has been on hold since May.
