Overview

• The Kammergericht’s August 1 ruling makes Sebastian T.’s three-and-a-half-year sentence and Tilo P.’s two-year-ten-month term final and enforceable.
• The Landgericht Berlin’s December convictions determined the 2018 arsons were politically motivated attacks on anti-extremism activists’ cars.
• Prosecutors designed the indictment to keep the case within Berlin courts and prevent review by the Federal Court of Justice.
• Authorities link at least 72 crimes to the so-called Neukölln Complex, encompassing further arsons, death threats, and other intimidation.
• The Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus inquiry into investigative lapses in the extremist series remains open, with a report expected in spring 2026.
