A judgment on the bombing against Borussia Dortmund is expected

More than a year and a half after the bombing of Borussia Dortmund 's team, the verdict of today is expected against the defendant. The prosecution required life imprisonment of 29 years for attempted murder. The prosecutor was convinced that when the team bus left for the home game of the Champions League against AS Monaco, Sergej W. blew up three explosive devices in the hotel's l & # 39; BVB team in order to kill the players and bring down the BVB share price. ,

Sergej W. from Rottenburg am Neckar admitted to having built the bombs and exploded. 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 bet with warrants on a decline in the title and hoped for a profit of "several tens of thousands of euros". His lawyers therefore asked to be imprisoned only for causing the explosion of an explosive device. This should be "clearly in the range of a number".

During the attack of April 11, 2017, the Spanish central defender Marc Batra had been seriously injured inside the bus on his forearm. A policeman supposed to drive the bus on a motorcycle had been injured. The official is incapacitated today.
