Dortmund – Eleven months have lasted the process until the bomb attack on the bus of the football team Erstligisten Borussia Dortmund. The Dortmund jury has now sentenced the murderer Sergej W. to a 14-year prison sentence for attempted murder multiplied by 28 and to the creation of an explosive.
In last Thursday's plea, W.'s defense had asked for his client's indulgence and demanded a prison sentence well below ten years. Attorney Carl Heydenreich ruled at that time that a conviction for attempted murder had been ruled out. W. was only guilty of causing an explosion of explosives.
BVB kicker in the witness stand
According to the court, the 29-year-old from Rottenburg am Neckar, on April 11, 2017, departing from the BVB Hotel Team Bus for the home match against AS Monaco, set off three explosive devices. According to the indictment, his goal was to use the bombs to kill players and thus bring down the price from BVB.
Sergej W. admitted to having built and exploded the bombs with metal pins. However, the German born in Russia denies any intention to kill. It was his only concern to spread fear and terror, he said in his confession. He had wagered with warrants on a decline in the title and hoped for a profit of "several tens of thousands of euros".
Spanish defender Marc Batra was seriously injured during the attack of his forearm during the attack. A policeman supposed to drive the bus on a motorcycle had been injured. The official is incapacitated today.
During the eleven-month trial, judges heard explosives and inventory experts and virtually all former bus occupants as witnesses. Defender Matthias Ginter, who plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach today, burst into tears. Roman Weidenfeller, the ever-active goalkeeper of the Dortmund goalkeeper, said: "The attack has changed my life." The coach of Dortmund, Thomas Tuchel, had then speculated in his testimony, even stating that he would have remained in office after the season, without the badbadination.
In their pleadings, the defenders described Sergej W. as a deeply destabilized personality, with narcissistic and hating traits. (AP)
