Overview
- Wittmann’s legal team says it has filed a criminal complaint and initiated civil proceedings seeking an injunction against the posters’ publication.
- Hoffenheim fans distributed and displayed the “wanted” sheets before and during Saturday’s 3–1 home win over RB Leipzig in Sinsheim.
- Attorney Dominik Höch rejects any satire defense, arguing the text is earnest rather than humorous or exaggerated.
- Höch points to an online ultra‑group video using crosshairs, which he says could be interpreted as a call to violence.
- The lawyer faults the club for not stopping the distribution around the stadium, while Hoffenheim has not commented as governance tensions persist after two managing directors exited last week.
