Cement Plant Blockade Protester Slapped with Charges in Leimen
Obstruction charges imposed following cement factory obstruction in Leimen - Obstruction of Cement Factory in Gleien Leads to Legal Accusations
Hey there! Got some juicy news for ya. A 26-year-old fella from Leimen, a city nestled in the Rhein-Neckar district, is in hot water following a not-so-friendly sit-in at a construction materials company. This chickensh*t blocked the production site, and now, the public prosecutor's office is pressing charges – you guessed it – for property damage!
The incident started early April, with the protester and his buddies, known as End Cement, covering themselves in some sandy concoction and gluing themselves to the factory's production site. The stunt caused Heidelberg Materials, the company in question, to lose around 100k euros due to factory downtime, and 3.6k euros in damage to the access road. Oopsie!
When the authorities came to free the bunch from the road, it took them approximately eight hours. So much for a speedy resolution, huh? The activists were protesting Heidelberg's CO2 emissions, calling for a shift towards sustainable building materials.
But wait, there's more! Two days before this stunt, the rogue protester tagged another Heidelberg building with green paint. The damages? A hefty 30k euros! If found guilty of property damage, he's looking at up to two years in the slammer or a hefty fine, according to the public prosecutor's office.
As if that wasn't bad enough,Penalty notices have also been sent out to other protesters. End Cement alleges two of these notices are for property damage totaling 3k euros (60 daily fines of 50 euros each) and another 4k euros (80 daily fines of 50 euros each). The public prosecutor's office hints there'll be more penalty notices to come.
So there you have it – a lively tale of rebellion, graffiti, and hefty fines. Construction and property damage charges galore! Stay tuned for more updates in this ever-evolving story.
