The trial of the trial received murder 20-year-old Philippe Tsani, who was fatally injured last June after a violent beating while returning from his sister’s graduation celebration to Bad Oenhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia at Germany.
The prosecutor of the case for his murder Philippe Tsani he said “shame” that the authorities had recovered with a late video from the incident and asked for apology by the victim’s family. The evolution of the trial is now causing a debate in Germany and not only about the behavior of minor offenders.
The charges announced at the start of the trial last December by Prosecutor Christopher Makel concerns homicide and robbery at the expense of a person in weak reaction. The young expatriate accepted punches and kicks on the headresulting in severe brain damage and succumbing to his wounds after two days. Basic accused is o 18 -year -old Syros, Muafak S., while two 19 -year -old Germans, Nick R. and Ferdinand D., are accused of causing severe bodily harm and klepture.
Reading the indictment, the prosecutor said Philip Tsanis and the three perpetrators were involved in a confrontation “without reason“And without knowing. They accidentally met in a park near the spot where the event was hosted for the graduation of the victim’s sister, when Tsanis and a friend were leaving.
Christof Makel described the scene in detail, explaining that 18 -year -old Syros He deliberately hit the victim on the legs To fall and then he managed to hit his head with his hands and feet, “knowing that the 20 -year -old could die.”
During the procedure, one of the witnesses made it by mistake to imply that there is visual material from the incident, with the result that the court ordering the re – seizure of mobile phones of those involved. In one of them the search was found ‘How to delete videos»And it was finally possible to recover two videos, which appears a second person to be involved. directly in the assassination of Philip Tsani against Philip.
This person had even previously blamed the accused Syros, whose lawyer spoke of racism and described his client as’easy target“, While he said that” the real perpetrators wanted to attribute the homicide to his client, as if the authorities had recovered the videos earlier, the accusation would not have been charged “against his client.
However, according to the prosecutor, Moufak A. was the one who caused the deadly skull fractures to Philippe Tsani. Trace blood and DNA of the victim found in Syros’s shoe.
The process, which was characterized by strongly outbursts Both the prosecutor and the president of the court, who even described “stupid»Some of the witnesses have been interrupted and the court’s ruling is expected in May. The prosecutor is also going to exercise now New persecutions for pseudo -martyred.
The case, however, is causing a broader debate in Germany about the behavior of minor offenders. According to a report by “Welt”, the witnesses were “shockingly Non -cooperative, provocative and cynical, while they were falsely false. “
According to police statistics on crime, so -called violent crimes between adolescents increased slightly by 19.609 suspects in 2023 in 19.912 2024. Almost 90% of suspects for perpetrators are men. According to the report, 2.371 to 100,000 teenagers were the previous year suspicious for some infringement.
Experts have no clear answers. Criminologist Kurstein Drenkah, a professor at the Free University of Berlin, tells Der Spiegel magazine that No scientifically documented studies about the behavior of adolescents in court.
There are also very few who specialize in this group. Social worker Regina Liechtenstein, who has been working with young perpetrators for many years in Berlin, tells the magazine that from her experience, minor perpetrators “They know very well what they do or what they have done»And speaks of ‘increasing brutality“, Which he also attributes to social media.
It is even surprised by how this generation behaves, how they talk to each other and each other. “They longed to go beyond limits. For them, There is no more that is not allowed“, Mrs. Liechtenstein notes.
