The Hamburg rapper Gzuz (34) has to go to prison for eight months and two weeks. This was announced by the Hamburg Higher Regional Court on Wednesday.
“Following the decision of the 2nd Criminal Senate of the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court of September 13, 2022, the review of the regional court’s judgment did not result in any legal error to the detriment of the accused, so that his appeal was rejected as unfounded,” the court said.
The Hamburg district court had sentenced the frontman of the band 187 Strassenbande to eight months and two weeks in prison six months ago. At the same time, the Criminal Court imposed a fine of 180 daily rates of 2,300 euros each, i.e. a total of 414,000 euros.
The court found the 34-year-old, whose real name is Kristoffer Jonas Klauß, of violating the Explosives Act and twice violating the Weapons Act.
The Chamber punished the slap in the face of a young woman who had asked the rapper for a selfie on the Reeperbahn in the morning. For that alone he was sentenced to eight months in prison.
The rapper appealed the verdict. It is not yet clear when he will start serving his sentence.
