Prosecutors Open Investigation Into Ex-Minister Peter Ramsauer Over Alleged Car Contact With Officer at CSU Retreat

Investigators cite initial suspicion after an officer reported leg pain during a checkpoint stop.

Overview

  • Traunstein prosecutors announced an inquiry on suspicion of an attack on an enforcement officer and negligent bodily harm.
  • Police say Ramsauer failed to stop at the entrance, then halted about 30 meters on, reversed slowly, and a contact occurred as the officer later reported pain in his left leg.
  • The Kriminalpolizei is leading the case with the officer’s statement on file, and no interview of Ramsauer had taken place by Thursday evening.
  • Ramsauer rejects the allegation, saying officers waved him through and that he was stationary while speaking with a policeman.
  • The encounter happened at the guarded Kloster Seeon entry during the CSU retreat under heightened security for a chancellor visit.
