66-Year-Old Woman Sentenced to 10 Years for Arson at Aachen Hospital

The woman was convicted of attempted murder and severe arson, causing millions in damages and a major emergency response.

The defendant set fires in her apartment and a hospital, resulting in over €30 million in damages.
She was motivated by a desire to provoke a police response and be shot, according to her own statements.
The arson led to the evacuation of patients and a large-scale emergency operation involving hundreds of responders.
The court issued a 10-year prison sentence, one year less than the prosecution's request, and considered future preventive detention.
The woman had a history of drug use and expressed regret for her actions, describing them as a 'huge mistake.'
