- The Commission has not yet adopted a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionising radiation.
After a 23-year-old was acquitted of fatal stab wounds in the heart of Würzburg, the prosecution and the civil party have filed an appeal. Therefore, the verdict is not yet final, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the Regional Court of Würzburg.
A criminal chamber had acquitted the man at the end of July of charges of manslaughter, attempted manslaughter, and bodily harm. The exact circumstances of the incident remained unclear, with the court stating that self-defense could not be ruled out.
The Spanish national is alleged to have fatally injured a 28-year-old man with a knife near a Würzburg club in the early hours of last September. Two other people were also injured.
At the trial's opening in June, the defendant admitted to the crime but claimed through his lawyer to have acted in self-defense. The exact events of the altercation between several people could not be fully clarified. According to the indictment, the man, who was reportedly drunk, verbally harassed several women.
The prosecution and the lawyer for the family of the deceased had demanded 12 years' imprisonment for manslaughter, while the defense sought acquittal.
The prosecution is now pursuing an appeal at the ['The Office of the Prosecutor'] after the 23-year-old's acquittal. The decision of the appeal filed by both the prosecution and the civil party will be crucial in determining the final verdict.
