Overview
- Max Schreiber received a total sentence of one year and two months, suspended for two years, and his brother was given ten months, also suspended for two years.
- The confirmed counts include dangerous bodily harm, coercion and hate speech, with Schreiber additionally convicted of usurping official functions through a fake military police announcement in early 2023.
- The court identified the June 2023 assault on a scooter rider as the gravest offense, and both defendants must pay €4,000 in pain-and-suffering compensation to the victim.
- Both were also convicted for threatening, insulting and chasing journalists during an unauthorized demonstration in Dresden-Laubegast.
- A related case was discontinued after another defendant agreed to pay €1,000 to Reporters Without Borders, while prosecutors and defense ended the appeal to avoid expanded hearings and potentially harsher penalties.
