Overview
- Defendant Taleb al‑Abdulmohsen, 51, is charged with six murders, 338 attempted murders and more than 300 counts of dangerous bodily harm.
- The hearing began in a purpose‑built 4,700‑square‑meter hall under strict security; the accused was flown in and sits behind bullet‑resistant glass.
- About 170 to 180 survivors and relatives are registered as co‑plaintiffs, though many seats were empty at the opening session.
- Roughly 46 to 50 court dates are slated through mid‑March 2026, starting with the indictment reading before witnesses and experts are called.
- State authorities are prosecuting after the federal prosecutor rejected a terrorism linkage, while a Landtag inquiry continues into security gaps and possible prevention.
