Overview

• Investigators say a 17-year-old reported being raped on May 30 in an underground car park near Munich’s Stachus after meeting two young men at the fountain.
• A judge approved a public manhunt on September 15, and police released surveillance images after months of inquiries, including DNA analysis and covert checks, failed to identify suspects.
• Within hours of the appeal, a 17-year-old presented himself at a police station in Freising and provided the name of the second suspect, a 15-year-old; both were identified as Afghan nationals.
• After immediate checks with prosecutors, authorities determined there was no legal basis for remand, and the proceedings continue under youth criminal law with the presumption of innocence.
• Kommissariat 15 continues the investigation, noting a male DNA trace from the scene has not matched databases, and is asking witnesses to come forward with information.
