Court imposes seven and a half years in prison for shooting at police during chase

In the trial surrounding shots fired at a police special operations team near Lake Brombachsee, the Ansbach regional court sentenced two young men to long prison terms.

After the proceedings, which were held with considerable security precautions, the court considered it proven that the two 24 and 25 year old men, together with a third person who was still on the run, were surprised by the SEK officers in a holiday apartment and fled in a car.

During a breakneck chase, one of the two shot the police four times from the car. The shooter received a prison sentence of seven years and six months, and the second man also received a prison sentence. The judgments are not yet final.

The two men are said to be connected to the Turkish mafia gang “Daltons” and are involved in drug dealing. There is speculation that the third person, who is still on the run, is a high-ranking representative of the organization who the two men wanted to enable to escape with their shots.
