Witnesses Say They Never Saw Disputed Pocher Video as Court Nears Ruling

Key witnesses told the Cologne court they had only heard of the clip, leaving Pocher’s claims uncorroborated.

Overview

  • Annemarie Carpendale testified via video that she has not seen the recording and knows no one in the wider ProSieben circle who has.
  • Producer Pierre Uebelhack likewise said he never viewed the clip and learned of it only from Christian Düren.
  • Earlier witness Georg Kappenstein told the court he knew of the video by hearsay and had no indication Düren forwarded it.
  • Düren maintains he neither shared nor used the material, saying he discussed it only with his partner and deleted it soon after receiving it.
  • Pocher criticized Carpendale’s testimony on Instagram and reiterated his extortion claim, with a court decision scheduled for February 4.
