District

- violations of the mask requirement, contact restrictions, the general exit restriction and the nightly curfew: Around 1300 reports in which

the Bavarian Infection

Protection Measures Ordinance

is said to have been disregarded

in the course of the

corona

pandemic

have

not yet been processed by the

Munich district

office.

The

district office is now reacting to

the public criticism of being

too lax and too slow in

punishing the corona violations

: with a special unit.

The district office

simply couldn't keep up

with the processing of the numerous

corona reports

.

According to a calculation by

Bayerischer Rundfunk

, it would have taken

132 years

at the current rate

to deal with all the proceedings.

"Fatal" is what Jürgen Ascherl, deputy chairman of the Bavarian Police Union, calls it.

District office processes corona ads slowly: police union scolds - "motivation brake"

“That is clearly the wrong signal,” he warns the BR, “in the case of such violations, the punishment must follow immediately - otherwise the deterrent effect is for the cat.” For the police colleagues, the

lack of processing is

a “real one Motivation brake ".

"What is this often not particularly pleasant work worth if nothing happens afterwards?"

A spokeswoman for the district office admitted on Sunday that the pace was not right and that the processing of the advertisements was "too slow".

That is about to change: "In a special unit personnel were bundled, to bring all the process as quickly as possible to a conclusion." This procedure was the District Office together with the

Munich police headquarters

set.

District of Munich: Corona violations remain unpunished - 1300 of 1700 reports have not yet been processed

To date, fines have

only been issued in eleven of the

1,700 reports

, most of which come from the police, and around 400 proceedings had to be discontinued for legal reasons.

Around

1,300 cases

are still open - the new special unit is now supposed to take care of them "to ensure the fastest and most consistent resolution possible".

It should be noted that in many cases the mandatory hearing has already been carried out;

it is a prerequisite for further fine proceedings.

"It is not a good signal if

violations of the Corona rules are

not punished quickly and consistently, but the long period for decree is used," says District Administrator Christoph Göbel.

"Because an immediate reaction serves as a deterrent and thus also the confirmation of law-abiding citizens who adhere to all the rules."

District Office Munich promises: Corona sinners will be punished - the limitation period is three years

The

peculiarity

should now proceed more quickly against corona sinners.

And no one should believe they will get away with it, says a press release: “The limitation period is three years.

There is no risk of being prosecuted for not one single violation due to a time limit. ”On the contrary,“ every single advertisement is carefully checked ”.

However, District Goebel also stressed: "Despite the necessity of

systematic prosecution of infringements

, which I fully acknowledge and favor, we should not also forget that all our efforts, especially the direct fight against the virus must serve." By this work in the

district office Munich is

a big team "every day and without any compromises".

“On that,” said Göbel, “people can rely.” And now, in addition, the quick punishment of non-compliance with the corona rules.

From this

Monday

, the obligation to wear an FFP2 mask applies in public transport and when shopping.

Unless everyone obeys the rules, the work for the new special unit is likely to be more than less.
