Ein Mann, der eine Sechsjährige aus einem Erlebnisbad in Rust gelockt und sexuell missbraucht haben soll, sitzt in Untersuchungshaft. Der 31-Jährige wurde nach seiner Festnahme in Rumänien nach Deutschland überstellt und dem Haftrichter vorgeführt.

Overview

  • The 31-year-old was placed in Untersuchungshaft by a Freiburg judge after being handed to German authorities, according to police and prosecutors.
  • Romanian police transferred the suspect to Germany on Thursday at Bucharest’s Henri Coanda airport under an international arrest warrant.
  • He had been arrested about a week earlier in his home village of Lugasu de Jos and held in extradition custody in Oradea.
  • Investigators allege he lured a six-year-old from the Europa-Park water park Rulantica on August 9 into a forest and sexually assaulted her, and the child was later found five kilometers away.
  • German authorities say the investigation continues with involvement from the Baden-Württemberg state criminal police office, and it remains unclear whether the suspect has given a statement.
