Federal Court of Justice to Rule on Lina E. Conviction

Germany's top criminal court will announce its decision on March 19, 2025, following a legal review of Lina E.'s 2023 conviction for attacks on right-wing extremists.

• Lina E. was convicted in 2023 by the Dresden Higher Regional Court for dangerous bodily harm and membership in a criminal organization.
• The court sentenced her to five years and three months in prison, though both the prosecution and defense appealed the ruling.
• The Federal Court of Justice reviewed the case for legal errors, focusing on procedural correctness without introducing new evidence.
• An oral hearing was held in February 2025 under strict security measures, with both sides seeking partial annulment of the original verdict.
• The decision, to be announced on March 19, could confirm, amend, or overturn the 2023 ruling, setting a potential legal precedent.
