7 years in prison for attacker for taking hostages. Attacker has already been sentenced to the maximum sentence for the racist and anti-Semitic attack in Halle.
He also has to make monetary payments to several injured parties. The 32-year-old showed a lack of empathy during the trial and was simply more interested in the prison's camera recordings, the judge said. The judge referred to a report that concluded that the defendant was a severely mentally disturbed person. The new ruling will therefore initially have no practical impact.
