Almost four years in juvenile detention for right-wing extremist over attack plan
The chamber considered it proven that the 19-year-old, who belongs to the right-wing scene, had obtained instructions on how to build weapons, ammunition and explosive devices as well as the corresponding chemicals. He also built several explosive and incendiary devices and made his first attempts to detonate them. With the verdict, the court followed the prosecution's demand. The defense had demanded two and a half years in juvenile detention.
As the accused was still a minor at the time of the crime, the trial was held in camera. A first trial was canceled at the end of April due to the illness of a juror, which is why a new trial was held. The now 19-year-old was arrested in June 2022 and has been in custody since then. The public prosecutor's office in Brandenburg had previously been investigating him for months.
