Overview

  • The lawsuit, registered as 17 K 3525/25 at the Gelsenkirchen Administrative Court, seeks to overturn the demand that he pay €12,076.93 for the operation.
  • Dortmund police mobilized 108 officers, including a Spezialeinsatzkommando unit and a helicopter, to remove the 21-year-old from the Westfalenstadion roof during June’s EM round-of-16 match.
  • Personnel costs accounted for €9,973 of the total bill, with the balance covering Landeskriminalamt NRW luggage checks and aircraft usage.
  • He has already paid a €1,050 trespassing fine and was previously arrested for scaling the Ulm Minster in October.
  • His attorney contends that on-site security was sufficient and that charging him for the specialized deployment is unjustified.
