Attack at the city festival: Convised Solingen assassin occurs revision

Only one day after his conviction for lifelong imprisonment and subsequent preventive detention, the assassin of Solingen, Issa al Hasan, has appealed. This was announced by the Higher Regional Court (OLG) Düsseldorf.

The revision must still be justified in the next few weeks. As soon as the reasoning is given, the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) decide.

The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court imposed the highest penalty for the Islamist terrorist attack on August 23, 2024 in Solingen the day before. It spoke to the accused about murder of three people, attempts to murder to ten people and as a member of the terrorist militia Islamic State.

The court thus corresponded to the claim of the federal prosecutor and all co -plaintiffs. The defenders had only spoken out against preventive detention.

Attache confessed the attack

Issa Al Hasan had already confessed to the knife attack at the beginning of the trial.

The court was convinced that the accused had radicalized Islamistically since 2019. He himself spread IS propaganda on his Tikok profile. His internet activities can be seen how he continued to cope into Islamist ideology. According to the Senate, the radical Islamist attitude of the accused continued, it said in the reasoning.

Solingen’s attack was the first in Germany since the attack on the Berlin Christmas market in 2016, which IS had known.
