Legal proceedings against AfD district council from Lindau

Christian Thomas, district councillor of the AfD in Lindau, has to answer to the district court for the accusation of bodily injury. Investigations into further allegations have been discontinued. By Simon Wörz, Steffen Armbruster, Sammy Khamis Last week, the Lindau District Court issued a penalty order for bodily injury against AfD district councillor Christian Thomas. According to BR information, this objection was lodged against it.

A spokeswoman for the court confirmed this. Christian Thomas was not available to the works council until the editorial deadline. AfD district council must go to court After the appeal, there will now be an oral hearing in court. The presumption of innocence continues to apply.

A date for the procedure has not yet been set. A penalty order is equivalent to a final conviction, unless an appeal is lodged against it. This simplified procedure is intended to relieve the burden on courts. If an objection is lodged, however, there will be a hearing, as is the case in the Thomas case.

Dispute in restaurant In May, a 61-year-old and 41-year-old Christian Thomas had a dispute in a restaurant in Lindenberg. There, Thomas is said to have become tangible vis-à-vis those who think differently politically. According to BR information, several people were present in the restaurant who observed this. After that, there was another dispute between the two, this time in the urban area of Lindenberg.

According to the 61-year-old's lawyer, his client had to be hospitalized as a result. The lawyer filed a complaint against Thomas for dangerous bodily harm. Investigations for dangerous bodily harm stopped The investigation for dangerous bodily harm was stopped by the public prosecutor's office in Kempten, as the works council exclusively learned. The public prosecutor's notice of recruitment shows that the 61-year-old was said to have been considerably drunk and had little recollection of the incident.

The public prosecutor's office does not rule out the possibility that Thomas may have started the second dispute. The injuries of the 61-year-old could also be due to this. However, this could not be proven. The 61-year-old told the BR that he remembers the incident very well.

His lawyer confirmed to the BR that he had filed a complaint against the termination of the proceedings for dangerous bodily injury on Monday. This is the European perspective at BR24.
