Criminal Case Over Habeck Siegestor Projection Dropped as Munich Fine Decision Awaits Case Files

The administrative handover has lagged for months, leaving Munich’s KVR saying it knows the case only from media reports.

Overview

  • Staatsanwaltschaft München I very recently ended its investigation into dangerous interference with road traffic, concluding the projection did not constitute a criminal offense.
  • The Kreisverwaltungsreferat says it has not received the returned case file, so it has not determined whether to impose an administrative fine.
  • KVR leadership previously indicated an “appropriate fine” was expected because election advertising on monuments is not permitted and multiple violations were recorded.
  • Police ordered the one-hour January projection switched off after Habeck’s image and campaign slogan were cast onto the protected Siegestor using a projector in a parked car.
  • Initial findings tied individuals involved to a company, yet the commissioning party remains unknown as criticism from the CSU persists.
