Berlin – Life sentence for hitting someone with a briefcase.

The German politician, Franziska Giffey, is never out of the headlines. First she had to give up her doctorate and resign as a minister because of a forged dissertation, then accusations of taking advantage of state funds were made against her husband. The politician is not very popular. A 74-year-old man hit Ms. Giffey in the back of the head with a briefcase during a speech. But she survived the attack well, Giffey explains in an interview.

The perpetrator is well known to the authorities due to numerous letters of complaint against the German government. He was taken to a psychiatric hospital and is now to be given preventive detention. In other words, life imprisonment. Germany Today.
