Second perpetrator sentenced: eleven years in prison for acid attack. Bernhard Günther was seriously injured in the attack.
Eyelids and parts of his facial skin had to be transplanted. He had to undergo numerous operations and was at risk of going blind at times. An anonymous whistleblower who received a reward of almost 200,000 euros helped the investigation achieve a breakthrough. A perpetrator with a Belgian passport was sentenced to twelve years in jail for the cruel attack in 2022. The punishment is now legally binding.
