- The General Federal Prosecutor’s representative requested a fine and “nachdrückliche Beugehaft” for unjustified refusal to testify, with a decision pending.
- According to court and reporter accounts, the witness was mistakenly returned to JVA Görlitz and will be brought back on Thursday, when the court plans to announce its ruling.
- The testimony sought concerns assaults on participants returning from a right‑wing march in Wurzen on 15 February 2020; the witness was among those attacked.
- The ongoing case at the OLG Dresden involves seven defendants accused since November 2025 of violent offenses and participation in a criminal organization, and runs alongside a separate trial of eight alleged 'Sächsische Separatisten' charged with forming a terrorist group and planning the liquidation of officeholders.
