A German court sentenced a 25-year-old Afghan man to life in prison for the February 2025 car-ramming attack in Munich that killed a two-year-old girl and her mother and injured dozens, according to reports. The court ruled the crime carried 'particular gravity', a designation making release significantly more difficult.
The Munich Regional Court on Thursday sentenced a 25-year-old Afghan man to life imprisonment for the February 2025 car-ramming attack in the city, which killed a two-year-old girl and her mother and injured dozens of others, according to reports. The court ruled that the crime carried 'particular gravity' (besondere Schwere der Schuld), a legal designation that makes early release significantly more difficult. The attack, in which a vehicle was driven into a crowd in central Munich, was treated as a terrorism case. The sentencing follows an earlier report from The Zioneer on Thursday that the court had delivered a life sentence but did not initially specify the heightened severity classification.
