Overview
- The Hamburg public prosecutor said a complaint against unknown persons was filed on December 12, 2025, alleging stalking (Nachstellung).
- The same law firm withdrew the complaint on January 8, 2026, yet authorities are continuing to examine the matter because stalking is an offizialdelikt.
- Prosecutors have not disclosed details of the allegations and report no criminal charge against Stefan Kuntz at this stage.
- HSV’s supervisory board stated it found internal accusations of serious misconduct credible and therefore sought a swift contract termination.
- A purportedly affected employee told Der Spiegel of inappropriate remarks and “inappropriate physical contact,” while Kuntz has publicly denied the claims and enlisted lawyers.
