Daring Climber Refuses to Pay €12k for Euro 2020 Roof Stunt
Climber Lashes Out with Legal Action Over Thousand-Euro Invoice - European legislative bodies have reached a consensus on the points specified:
A thrill-seeker from Osnabrück is ignoring a whopping €12,076.93 bill from the police after he scaled the towering roof of the Signal Iduna Park stadium during the Euro 2020 match between Germany and Denmark. He's taken the matter to the administrative court in Gelsenkirchen, as revealed by German Press Agency.
Under case number 17 K 3525/25, the lawsuit was initiated shortly after his attorney submitted a written statement on Friday.
The Dortmund police want every penny, but critics argue that the staggering sum is excessive. The operation allegedly required 108 officers, including a special forces unit, and involved additional costs such as an examination and seizure of the climber's backpack, as well as the deployment of a police helicopter. The climber has so far settled for a mere €1,050 fine for trespassing.
The climber was discovered perched atop the stadium when the game was still in play. Press reports hint at a night of daring adventure, with the climber scaling the stadium to capture stunning photos. He's said to be a member of the "roofing" scene, a band of bold individuals known for ascending to dizzying heights. His most recent escapade was reportedly in October at the Ulm Minster.
The climber's lawyer had already voiced his intention to dispute the bill, citing the presence of security forces at the scene. With the invoice now issued, the legal battle is yet to begin.
However, it's essential to note that there's little evidence to support the claim that the Dortmund police are leveling such charges against a distinct "stadium climber" for any Euro 2020 incident at Dortmund's stadium. The available sources discuss a range of topics, such as Borussia Dortmund's football transfers[1], recent sporting performance[2], and unrelated subjects like Yann Sommer's career[3].
If you have specific details about an incident or a different event, please provide more context for a more accurate response.
- The community policy regarding the fines for trespassing seems generous compared to the €12,076.93 bill for the Euro 2020 stadium roof stunt, as the climber was only fined €1,050 for the same offense.
- The general-news sources provide little information about the incident involving the Dortmund football stadium during Euro 2020, focusing instead on topics such as football transfers, recent sporting performance, and Yann Sommer's career.
- Critics argue that vocational training in areas like law enforcement and emergency response could have been more effectively utilized during the Euro 2020 stadium stunt incident, considering the reported 108 officers and additional resources involved.
