The 44-year-old has been in court in Stuttgart since Friday because, among other things, he is accused of serious gang theft. Two alleged accomplices have already been sentenced to prison terms of several years.
The trial against the third suspect is scheduled for three more days of trial before the regional court until the end of March. In total, the men are said to have stolen cars worth a total of around 717,000 euros, the public prosecutor said at the start of the trial in the 17th Grand Criminal Chamber.
