Assault on asylum accommodation — two men sentenced to prison
Two men aged 22 and 42 have been convicted of particularly serious aggravated robbery at Potsdam Regional Court. The younger man received a custodial sentence of five years and six months, the older man five years and nine months, according to tagesspiegel.de. The verdict is not yet final.
The judges found the two men guilty of arranging with a group in March 2025 to attack an asylum accommodation in Stahnsdorf (Potsdam-Mittelmark district). They destroyed two windows. When security personnel gave chase, they threatened them with a CO2 pistol, according to the court's findings.
The men then confronted a security guard. They knelt on his back and beat him with an iron chain until he lost consciousness. The defendants may appeal against the verdict.
