Mouhamed Dramé, 16, died during a police operation in Dortmund. Two plainclothes police officers who were present during the operation have not been charged.
They unanimously reported that their accused colleagues had fired the pepper spray, the Taser and finally the submachine gun without any clear warning or clear threat. The death of the minor caused outrage nationwide and sparked a debate about the proportionality of police resources. In the trial, which has been running since the end of 2023, the public prosecutor's office is accusing the shooter of manslaughter.
