Overview

  • A Romanian appeals court has ordered the 31-year-old detained in Oradea and mandated his transfer to Germany within ten days of its decision
  • German investigators used surveillance footage from Europa-Park and a civilian tip to identify the suspect, then seized clothing during a search of his Lahr apartment
  • Officials report no evidence of rape and say the six-year-old victim was largely physically unharmed while psychological support measures remain confidential
  • Baden-Württemberg Interior Minister Thomas Strobl hailed the case as proof of close, trusting law enforcement cooperation between Germany and Romania
