The well-known figure referred to as "King of Germany," Peter Fitzek, will stand before the Landgericht Dessau-Roßlau starting Monday for an appeals hearing. Fitzek was found guilty of intentional bodily harm and defamation approximately one year ago and sentenced to eight months in prison suspended. Since a appeal was filed, the case is being tried again.
Fitzek is accused of pushing a woman against a door during an altercation at the Landkreis Wittenberg administrative building on March 1, 2022. According to the county administration, the woman had worked for a security firm for the administration. Additionally, he is said to have insulted two soldiers from the Bundeswehr when they attempted to help.
The defense of the defendant had requested acquittal at the lower court. Courts and authorities have been dealing with different allegations involving Fitzek repeatedly.
- The appeals hearing for the criminal case against Peter Fitzek, known as the "King of Germany," is scheduled to commence at the Process (Court) in Dessau-Roßlau, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
- This new trial follows Fitzek's conviction of intentional bodily harm and defamation last year, for which he was given an eight-month prison sentence suspended.
- The appeals procedure was initiated due to the controversial nature of the case, which involved Fitzek pushing a Ms. against a door and insulting soldiers from the Bundeswehr.
- The Saxony-Anhalt court system has been juggling various allegations of extremism and criminality related to Fitzek for some time now.
- During the altercation at the Landkreis Wittenberg administrative building on March 1, 2022, the defendant allegedly attacked a woman employed as a security officer and insulted the two Bundeswehr soldiers.
- Despite the defense's request for acquittal at the lower court, the appeals hearing will now decide the final verdict in this contentious case, further addressing issues of justice and accountability in Germany.
