On July 14, 2021, Toni K. (34) finished work half an hour earlier. He urgently needed to go to the bank to get money. However, because he did not do this with the money card, but with a fake gun, he is now facing the district court on charges of severe extortion.
Not for the first time. In April 2020, the actually shy blond boy had already caught himself in prison for three and a half years as a bank robber. However, he remained at liberty until his incarceration.
Toni: “I managed that really well at first.” His relationship was going well. No more drug problem. And the job as supermarket security was also fun. At first.
But the Corona rules that he had to monitor weighed more and more on him. “I was insulted by customers, beaten and spat on.” To relieve stress, he soon resorted to drugs again. “It was like a whirlpool I couldn’t get out of.”
When his dealer had collected his last euro, he recalled: “It was so easy to get money last time…”
This time he made his way to the Santander Consumer Bank on Frankfurter Allee by bike. Lurking around indecisively. Observed the in and out: also went to the machines… Before he finally got over it at 2:17 p.m.

In security uniform, with mouth and nose protection according to the regulations, he presented a note at the counter: “Rupture, 5000 euros, immediately, otherwise I’ll kill you!” He had already demanded the same amount for the first crime.
The clerk pushed the wad of money towards him out of fear. She had no idea that the black handle protruding from the fanny pack was not that of a pistol but that of a baton.
Toni K. fled to Hanover with the loot. However, at the urging of his partner, he returned two weeks later to turn himself in.
The accused: “How ashamed I am. Sitting here again for something like this.” His request: drug therapy. “I think I need support.”
