| Jun 4, 2016 at 5:48 | comment | added | o.m. | @AndrewGrimm, the prosecution opens an investigation if there is an Anfangsverdacht (initial suspicion) that a serious crime has taken place. The perpetrator and the victim don't have to be known at this point. Somebody is charged if there is hinreichender Tatverdacht (sufficient suspicion), which means that the prosecution considers it likely that they wll secure a conviction. Obviously this means that the the prosecution thinks they know the perpetrator. The New Year's Eve events were a mix of sexual violence, robbery, and theft, and so far most charges are for property crimes. | |
| Jun 4, 2016 at 4:11 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | @AndrewGrimm: Three rapes are alleged to have been committed in Cologne during the New Year's Eve celebrations, according to the Wikipedia article. It does not say whether anyone has been formally charged with this particular offense in connection with those allegations. | |
| Jun 4, 2016 at 3:00 | comment | added | Golden Cuy | "According to Wikipedia, there were three rape cases." - that's worded as if there's only ever been three prosecutions for rape. Did you mean something else, such as there being three definitions of rape? | |
| Jun 3, 2016 at 19:46 | comment | added | o.m. | @corsiKa, Munich has a long experience at handling masses of drunk Oktoberfest visitors. Paramedics on the scene, police patrols, etc. There are many reasons to avoid the Oktoberfest, from the outrageous beer prices to the music, but I would be no more (and no less) concerned about security than at any other mass event in the West these days. | |
| Jun 3, 2016 at 19:28 | comment | added | corsiKa | I like the hint that while certain parts are dangerous for foreigners it can also be dangerous for natives too. Turns out taking a bunch of people and locking them in the biggest keg party in the world causes a few of them to get violent... | |
