After the bombing of Borussia Dortmund's team in April 2017, the murderer was sentenced to 14 years in prison. The Dortmunder jury on Tuesday convicted 29-year-old Sergei W. of an attempted murder with 28 badbadination attempts and the cause of an explosion of explosives.
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".
His lawyers had therefore asked for a prison sentence only for causing an explosion. This should be "clearly in the single digit range". In their pleadings, the lawyers described W. as a deeply disturbed personality, with narcissistic and affectionate traits.
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 11-month trial, the judges, in addition to the explosives and inventory experts, also interviewed almost all former bus occupants. Defender Matthias Ginter, who plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach today, burst into tears. Guard Roman Weidenfeller, who was still active for Dortmund at the time, said: "The attack has changed my life." The coach of Dortmund, Thomas Tuchel, even hinted in his testimony that he would have remained in office after the season if the badbadination attempt had never taken place.
