Overview
- Prosecutors confirmed Stefan Kuntz filed a complaint for alleged stalking on December 12 and withdrew it on January 8.
- Authorities said the withdrawal has no effect on the process because the alleged offense must be pursued ex officio.
- HSV’s supervisory board said in an earlier statement that allegations of serious misconduct against Kuntz were deemed credible and led to a swift separation at year-end.
- One HSV employee told Der Spiegel that Kuntz made inappropriate remarks and engaged in inappropriate physical contact, with internal sources describing him as a “touchy guy.”
- Kuntz has publicly rejected the allegations, signaled legal action through his attorneys, and no criminal charges against him have been announced.
