Magdeburg Christmas-Market Trial Enters Day Six as Investigators Take the Stand

Their testimony centers on the probe into Taleb A.’s actions, including his personal environment.

Overview

  • Seven police investigators are scheduled to testify on the sixth day of hearings, with proceedings set to start at 9:30 a.m.
  • The officers are expected to describe investigative steps tied to the December market attack and inquiries around the defendant’s background.
  • On day five, former colleagues depicted the defendant as unreliable and lacking expertise, and he angrily disputed parts of their accounts in court.
  • Earlier testimony and records indicated he deliberately rented a luxury vehicle used to drive through the market.
  • A reported post-incident drug test returned a positive result, which remains part of the case record under review.
