Overview

• Atallah Younes, a 23-year-old influencer, was convicted of property damage after firing a firework rocket into a Berlin apartment on New Year's Eve.
• The Berlin district court sentenced Younes to a six-month suspended sentence, citing insufficient evidence to prove intent for more severe charges.
• Prosecutors have appealed the verdict, seeking to add charges of attempted arson and dangerous bodily harm, arguing for a stricter two-year suspended sentence.
• Younes has accepted the court's decision, with his lawyer calling the verdict reasonable, while expressing skepticism about the success of the appeal.
• The Bundesgerichtshof may review the case if the appeal proceeds, leaving the legal outcome unresolved as public attention on the incident continues.
