Witnesses Say They Never Saw Disputed Video in Pocher–Düren Court Case

The Cologne court plans to issue a ruling on February 4.

Overview

  • At a Landgericht Köln hearing, Annemarie Carpendale testified via video that she knows of the clip but has never viewed it and knows no ProSieben colleagues who have.
  • Carpendale described her connection to Christian Düren as strictly professional rather than personal.
  • TV producer Pierre Uebelhack told the court Düren mentioned the clip during a meeting in Cologne, yet he has never seen any recording.
  • Oliver Pocher alleges Düren used a private video, reportedly showing a dispute with ex‑wife Amira Aly, to extort him and damage his career.
  • Christian Düren denies wrongdoing, saying he discussed the material only with his partner, deleted it soon, and did not forward it to anyone.
