Heilsbronn attempted murder retrial

Overview

A legal proceeding regarding an attempted contract killing in Heilsbronn has been ordered for retrial by the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH).

The case stems from a February 2025 incident where a manager of a sports fashion brand was attacked with a knife, sustaining life-threatening injuries. A 26-year-old suspect had previously been sentenced to 13 years and 6 months in prison. While the BGH did not find error in the conviction, it identified a potential legal error regarding the sentencing. The motive is believed to be professional, involving a promised 50,000 euro payment.
