Overview
- The Amtsgericht Husum issued Strafbefehle against six people over the January 4, 2024 blockade that prevented Robert Habeck from disembarking at Schlüttsiel.
- Five defendants face fines of 25 to 40 day-fines set between €80 and €120 per day, while one defendant received a seven-month sentence suspended on probation with a €500 payment to a charity.
- Prosecutors allege the 37-year-old broke a police cordon and is additionally accused of resisting enforcement officers and breach of the peace.
- All six can file objections that would lead to public main hearings, and the presumption of innocence applies until any final judgment.
- Authorities say the action was part of farmer protests over planned subsidy cuts, and three other identified participants were not prosecuted due to minimal involvement.
