Nine and a half years imprisonment in the Waldkraiburg trial

Fanatic Salafism and hatred of Turks - according to the court, this is the motive of the young man who carried out numerous attacks in Waldkraiburg.

Now the judgment was made.

Munich / Waldkraiburg - In the process of attacks on Turkish shops in Waldkraiburg, Upper Bavaria, the defendant was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison on Friday.

He has been found guilty of 26 attempted murder, aggravated arson and preparation for a serious state-threatening act of violence, among other things.

The Munich Higher Regional Court also imposed her placement in the closed psychiatry.

The now 27-year-old had - among other things - thrown an incendiary device in a Turkish grocery store, above which numerous people lived in their apartments.

From the court's point of view, he put her life in danger.

He is also said to have committed and planned other acts.

The motive: fanatical Salafism and hatred of Turks.

The accused is schizophrenic, according to the court.

"Without the schizophrenia, the attacks carried out by the defendant in Waldkraiburg are inconceivable," said the presiding judge.

But they are "just as inconceivable without the Islamist-jihadist ideology".

This is "the foundation on which schizophrenia has saddled up".

The federal prosecutor had demanded thirteen and a half years in prison, the defense a prison sentence of seven years.
