The alleged causer of an accident with three dead in Berlin-Treptow with three dead is in custody.
That said the spokesman for the prosecutor, Martin Steltner.
Shortly after the accident, an investigating judge had rejected the arrest warrant requested by the public prosecutor against the 21-year-old.
There was no urgent suspicion and no grounds for detention, it was said at the time.
The young man, who survived the accident as the only occupant of the car at the beginning of February, is charged with negligent homicide and an illegal motor vehicle race.
The highly motorized car with four occupants between the ages of 19 and 21 crashed into trees on the street Am Treptower Park at high speed in the late evening of February 2nd.
Then the car crashed into a construction container with such force that it tore apart and went up in flames.
A young man died at the scene of the accident, a second a few hours later.
The third inmate was initially taken to a special clinic with severe burn injuries.
The 19-year-old died there on February 6th.
