A Romanian man settled in France and two of his sons are on trial in Germany for their alleged involvement in planning a murder committed at a wedding in Fürth, Bavaria. Prosecutors are seeking life sentences for them, and the verdict is expected on November 11.
According to investigators, the attack was allegedly provoked by a long-standing conflict between two families, which erupted after a relationship ended. Gunshots were fired during the wedding party, and one person was killed.
The man accused of firing the shots has already been sentenced to life in prison. The trial now underway before the German court seeks to establish whether his father and two of his brothers contributed to preparing the attack and whether the killing was the result of an action planned by several people.
The prosecution maintains that the three defendants acted together and charges them with murder committed jointly. The defense rejects the accusations and requests an acquittal. The court will examine the evidence to determine each person's responsibility.
Until the sentence is handed down, the three benefit from the presumption of innocence. The case raises the question of whether the shooting was the decision of a lone attacker or the result of a family plan.
