Overview
- The Landgericht Hamburg convicted the defendant of attempted particularly serious robbing extortion, dangerous bodily harm, armed cannabis trafficking and deprivation of liberty.
- Judges said he brandished a 30-centimeter knife during a January 30, 2024 meeting in Hamburg-Lurup and threatened to kill those he blamed.
- One victim was forced to undress, blindfolded and beaten about 20 times with electric cables, causing weeks of pain and lasting scars.
- Police had found the 55 kilograms of marijuana in moving boxes in a transporter outside a Dulsberg fitness studio, a seizure announced publicly two days later.
- The sentence is cumulative with prior judgments, the court deemed his full confession credible, and the ruling is not yet final as the defense notes further allegations remain pending.
