Opposite the TV station RTL she reports that she is in shock because of her daughter’s involvement. “When I saw the video, I thought, ‘That can’t be my daughter.

Although the shocking act happened at the end of February, not all of the accused have been questioned. “The investigation into the case is ongoing,” the spokeswoman said. The fact that the interrogations drag on for weeks also has to do with the young age of the alleged attackers. Since the accused are minors, a legal guardian must always be present during the interrogation, explains the police spokeswoman. This causes difficulties in finding an appointment. The fact of the common dangerous bodily harm is probably central in the room. The age of the alleged tormentors is not only of particular importance in the context of the investigation, but also a possible sentence.
