After an attack on a British football fan, a fan of Schalke 04 was sentenced to two years in prison on Tuesday. The 33-year-old from Gelsenkirchen brought the Manchester City supporter at the Champions League game on February 20, 2019 with a targeted punch. The victim fell as a result of the blow and suffered the serious head injuries and was in a coma for weeks, the perpetrator was arrested just a few days later.
Towards the end of the game, the British fan was on a kiosk in the tour of the stadium. His club had just achieved the 3-2 lead. The blow hit him directly on the chin. Father, son and daughter of the then 32-year-old were also beaten.
perpetrators receive probation and fines
Surveillance cameras in the Gelsenkirchen stadium had recorded the attack. The trial of the Essen district court came to the perpetrator, which was now sentenced to two years in prison for dangerous bodily harm - the public prosecutor had originally charged those responsible for the main attempted murder.
In addition to the main person responsible, three other Schalke fans were also held accountable as accomplices. Against two of them, the judges imposed six or eight months in prison. A fourth defendant was sentenced to a fine of 1800 euros (90 daily rates). He was the only one who hadn't acted actively. In his case, the judgment is on aid for dangerous bodily harm.
victim waives the statement in court
According to his lawyer, the then seriously injured is now better. The Manchester City fan had not testified as a witness. He had been invited by the judges, but had not appeared in court. The main defendant, in turn, had confessed in the process and assured the payment of a total of 35,000 euros in pain and suffering.
