Drug trip ends fatal drama: pensioner attacked and car stolen!

Raguhn, Deutschland - A confusing and worrying event occurred in Raguhn, as a 45-year-old man, apparently standing under drugs, an 80-year-old pensioner attacked. According to MDR , the pensioner was just on the road when he got in the sight of the perpetrator. After the man was attacked from behind and injured on the face, he ran to a passerby to look for help. However, the perpetrator did not give up and quickly sat in the pensioner's car to drive with the intention.

A attentive witness quickly recognized the Situation and tried to stop the perpetrator, but was threatened with an object. The attacker, in a clear moment of confusion, noticed that he was only holding an ice scraper in his hand. He threw it into the trunk and then turned to another vehicle whose driver, a 54-year-old lady, carelessly left her car key in the car. The perpetrator started the car and roared.

arrest and indictment

The police were already prepared for the perpetrator and was able to stop him a short time later. During the check, it turned out that he was without a driver's license and drug. In addition, the man lived without a permanent residence and now sees serious legal consequences. It is currently in custody, while against him because of predatory extortion, assault, driving without driving license and drunkenness in traffic.

But what exactly does it mean when you speak of predatory extortion? According to Juracademy , this form of blackmail is a serious act of perpetrator that requires violence against a person or threat with the current danger to life or life. In such an act, the protected legal goods are the assets and personal freedom of the victim.

legal consequences

The legal consequences should not be underestimated. According to Anwalt.de , the allegation of the predatory extortion can be threatening to exist. As a rule, the punishment is at least one year in prison, in more severe cases even up to 15 years or lifelong imprisonment. The difference between predatory extortion and robbery lies in the fact that in the case of blackmail, the victim publishes the matter "voluntarily" under compulsion, while violence or threats is used to withdraw a thing.

The events in Raguhn are exemplary for the challenges in front of which the community and thus also the legal interpretation of such acts are facing. In a world in which violence and threats increase, the question of how society and judiciary react to such incidents remains of crucial importance.
