Unlawful Act - Potsdam initiates legal action over false information spread during polls.
"Thorough investigations were conducted on the allegations and claims brought forth. However, we have found no evidence to support these, they're entirely false. It is believed the videos were purposely shared to disseminate misinformation. The main objective appears to be to raise questions over the fairness of the elections."
- Gabriel Tolksdorf

Despite the criminal complaint filed against the individuals responsible for spreading disinformation during the local elections in Potsdam, the police have yet to find any concrete evidence of a criminal offense being committed in Brandenburg. The allegedly false information, which included videos intended to sow doubt about the fairness of the elections, is seen as an example of disinformation aimed at influencing election outcomes. The criminal complaint serves as a warning to potential perpetrators that spreading false information during elections could lead to legal consequences.
