In Berlin, the regional court is currently negotiating a case that, in contrast to other gang rape such as in Freiburg or Düsseldorf, has so far received little public attention.
Wisam BB is charged with fourfold rape, two of them in particularly serious cases, as well as with assault and hostage taking in two cases. But the decision as to whether he has to go into preventive detention is extremely difficult. "The acts are sadistic in any case," said the psychiatric expert before the Berlin district court. But that alone is not a criterion for preventive detention.
