dragged before the bigwigs: 26-year-old goes on trial for disrupting heidelberg cement plant in leimen
Prosecution initiated for obstruction of cement factory operation in Leimen - Obstruction of Cement Factory in Leimen Leads to Legal Accusations
Hey there! Let's dive into the latest drama in the Rhein-Neckar district.
So, here's the lowdown: The local authorities have pressed charges against a 26-year-old protester for his role in disrupting a construction materials company in Leimen. The company in question? None other than Heidelberg Materials, and the charges include damaging property, as confirmed by a spokesperson.
The young activist allegedly glued himself to the production site with a concoction of sand and adhesive at the beginning of April, along with others from the group End Cement. The stunt delayed production and cost the company at least 100,000 euros. Additionally, there was around 3,600 euros worth of damage done to the access road.
After a long eight-hour ordeal, specialists successfully extricated the activists from the scene. The ringleaders weren't happy with the company's emissions of CO2 and demanded a shift towards sustainable building materials.
On top of the production blockade, the 26-year-old is also accused of spray-painting a building at another location with green paint two days prior. The estimated damage from that incident is at least 30,000 euros. If found guilty of property damage, the young man could potentially spend up to two years in the big house or pay a hefty fine, according to the spokesperson.
Oh, and here's another interesting tidbit: Penalty orders have been slapped on several other protesters, as confirmed by the public prosecutor's office. Two of these orders were for property damage totaling 3,000 euros, equating to 60 days in the clinker at a measly 50 euros a day. Another order was for 4,000 euros, amounting to 80 days of jail time at the same rate.
Now, keep in mind, this is just the gist of the situation. You can find more info out there, but that's the cliff notes version for now. The public prosecutor's office has yet to release further details about upcoming penalty orders related to these protest actions.
Go ahead and share this juicy tidbit with your peeps!

However, some sources talk about Heidelberg Materials in relation to environmental criticisms and mining activities, but there's no mention of legal actions concerning protesters and property damage at the Rhein-Neckar site.
