The Freiburg Regional Court has decided to lift the arrest warrant for a 25-year-old. The Syrian-born man was indicted in the trial for alleged gang-rape of a young woman. Now he is allowed to leave pre-trial detention after eleven months.
The urgent suspicion of the rape had not substantiated in the process, the district court. The 25-year-old, however, remains a defendant on suspicion of failure to provide assistance. The ten remaining defendants are still in custody.

They are accused of rape and failure to provide assistance. In mid-October 2018, they allegedly raped the 18-year-old at night in a bush in front of the nightclub and did not help her. Some of them have denied this in the ongoing since the end of June process, others are silent on the allegations.
