Berlin Prosecutor Appeals Influencer's Suspended Sentence for Firework Incident

Atallah Younes accepts six-month suspended sentence for property damage, but prosecutors push for harsher charges of attempted arson and dangerous bodily harm.

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.
