Berlin Reports 5,681 Criminal Cases Against Letzte Generation Activists

The tally underscores that penalties have largely been fines despite isolated prison terms.

Overview

  • Berlin’s justice authority says 5,681 cases have been opened since 2022, with 5,588 concluded by October 22 and 2,695 discontinued.
  • Most convictions resulted in fines, with one 10‑month sentence suspended on probation, three youth sentences, and some warnings and educational measures; 191 cases targeted unknown suspects.
  • The predominant allegations were coercion, resisting enforcement officers, and property damage, with occasional counts of dangerous interference with traffic, bodily harm, trespass, and insult.
  • The group halted road blockades in January 2024 and has operated under the name Neue Generation since February 2025.
  • Outside Berlin, Munich prosecutors are pursuing allegations of a criminal association, and a Berlin court in 2024 imposed an almost two‑year prison term without parole on a 65‑year‑old activist.
