►THE JUDGMENT: On the 22nd day of the trial, Judge Thomas Groß (57) said: “He became the victim of a superfluous memo. It was about alleged defamation. All four of them didn’t do much positive things in life, one wonders: What sense of honor?”
They come from “precarious, desolate conditions” and led a “meaningless life, financed by state transfer payments”.
►THE PUNISHMENTS: eight years in prison for beer bottle thug Leon F. (causing bodily harm resulting in death). The others are sentenced for aggravated assault and involvement in a fight: Jason F. to five years and nine months, Aileen T. to three years and eight months, Falco K. to three years and two months.
“Aileen turned everyone upside down, a character riddled with frightening coldness,” says the judge. “In these circles, a memo is not a piece of paper that says something to think about, but violent.” The four planned the act at the kebab shop on Hermannplatz.
