The reason is his statements about the attack on US President Donald Trump in July of last year. The Berlin public prosecutor accuses the 29-year “reward and approval of crimes”.
Just a few days after the assassination attempt, Hotz asked on the short message service X what “the last bus” and together, and “unfortunately just missed” with “unfortunately”. He alluded to the fact that the ball that Trump injured the ear could also have been potentially fatal.
Among them, the satirist followed up again: “I find it absolutely fantastic when fascists die”. He immediately acted a shit storm on X, sharp comments that criticized his two posts as tasteless and inhuman.
Hotz deleted the posts after a short time.
Don’t you want to miss anything from the star?
Personally, competent and entertaining: Editor -in -chief Gregor Peter Schmitz sends you the most important content from the star-Credaction and arranges what Germany talks about.
El Hotzo dived – but only briefly
Nevertheless, the two statements for “El Hotzo” had far -reaching consequences. First the ARD broadcaster Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) ended the cooperation with him at the youth broadcaster Fritz. A short time later, the ARD culture media portal canceled a literary event with him. Now follows the legal aftermath.
As a result, the satirist withdrew from the public. At the end of last year, he celebrated a comeback together with Jan Böhmermann. In a satirical documentary by RTL, Hotz was on the “forgiveness” in the United States. He symbolically apologized to ex-President Donald Trump, X owner Elon Musk and the US population. As an alleged sign of his regrets, he had a tattoo “I am Sorry Mr. President” in front of the camera. Shortly afterwards he added the word “need”.
Backing of Kubicki
Hotz gets support from politics. FDP-Vice Wolfgang Kubicki has spoken out before the upcoming process and spoken out for an termination of the procedure-provided that the satirist distances himself from his statements. “I would recommend that ‘El Hotzo’ Says sorry, “said the politician and lawyer in an interview with the” NOZ “and suggested:” The public prosecutor could apply for the proceedings to be paid for the payment of a fine of 1000 euros, for example. Then the topic would be through. “
Already when the contributions of “El Hotzo” became known, Kubicki had pointed out the legal relevance of the statements. “The approval of criminal offenses is something different from insulting someone.”
When asked whether he regretted his comments, in October in an interview with the star No sooner said than: “But my attitude to these tweets has changed.” In terms of content, he continues to be the second sentence: “But if I would be asked the moral question, whether it is okay or not okay to jokes about shots on a person, I would formulate generally: not.”
A day is scheduled for the negotiation before the Tiergarten district court.
