Overview
- Landgericht Ellwangen found Heike Naber guilty of intentionally altering a 2019 municipal council resolution tied to a planned property purchase.
- The court imposed 150 day-fines at €100 each, totaling €15,000, a level that constitutes a criminal record under German law.
- The decision is not yet final, and the parties can seek revision within a week.
- Naber admitted changing the protocol but argued she lacked criminal intent, while prosecutors pressed for conviction and the defense sought acquittal.
- A new mayoral election in Niederstetten is set for March 8, and Naber is standing as a candidate.
