Overview

• The Tiergarten District Court dismissed the proceedings after Sass agreed to a €7,000 settlement with prosecutors.
• She will pay €4,000 in compensation to four picnickers and make a €3,000 charitable donation.
• The case stems from a March 2024 incident at Berlin’s Müggelsee where her unleashed dog approached a picnic and she is accused of using racial slurs.
• Authorities say she threatened to set her dog on a bystander who was filming the confrontation.
• No formal verdict was reached and Sass remains presumed innocent under German law as her lawyer highlights conflicting witness accounts.
