Due to the bus bombing of the Borussia Dortmund team, the judges sentenced Sergei W. to 14 years in prison. The Dortmund District Court declared him guilty of 28 attempts to badbadinate and explode explosives.

According to the court, the 29-year-old from Rottenburg am Neckar, on April 11, 2017, departing from the bus of the BVB hotel team for the Champions League home game against the club. AS Monaco detonated three explosive devices manufactured by itself. According to the indictment, his goal was to use the bombs to kill players and thus bring down the price from BVB.

The accused had acknowledged the act committed during the process but had denied 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".

Eleven months have gone by

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.

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. Guard Roman Weidenfeller, who was still active for Dortmund at that time, said: "The attack has changed my life." At the time, Thomas Tuchel, the coach of Dortmund, had even speculated in his testimony that he would have remained in office after the current season without the badbadination.

In their pleadings, the defenders described Sergej W. as a deeply destabilized personality, with narcissistic and hating traits.
