Overview

• Atallah Younes, a 23-year-old influencer from the West Bank, was convicted of property damage after firing a firework rocket into a Berlin apartment on New Year’s Eve.
• The Berlin Landgericht sentenced Younes to six months of imprisonment, suspended on probation, citing insufficient evidence of intent to cause harm.
• Prosecutors have appealed the verdict, seeking a harsher sentence that includes charges of attempted arson and attempted dangerous bodily harm.
• The case will now be reviewed by Germany’s Federal Court, with potential implications for Younes' legal status and future actions.
• Younes has reportedly left or plans to leave Germany following his release, adding uncertainty to his potential return for further legal proceedings.
