Police Chasing Their Money: Stadium Climber Fights 12,000 Euro Charge; Sues Authorities
Climber shells out 12,000 euros for scaling EM Stadium - European Legislative Body Agreements on Regulations
Hey there! Let's dive into an exciting tale about a daredevil from Osnabrück who isn't afraid to take on the big guns - literally. This chap scaled Dortmund's football stadium during the Euro 2020 quarter-finals, and now he's refusing to foot a hefty bill of approximately 12,000 euros!
The man, now 22, has put up a fight and filed a lawsuit against the cost decree at the administrative court in Gelsenkirchen, according to a court spokesperson quoted by the German Press Agency. His case is now being processed under the file number 17 K 3525/25. His lawyer's brief was received by the court last Friday.
The Dortmund police are driven to distraction, demanding every penny of this steep 12,076.93 euros from our rooftop adventurer. This bill covers the deployment costs, which included 108 police officers, including a special operations unit (SEK), as well as additional costs for the examination and securing of his backpack, and the deployment of the police helicopter. So far, our climber has only forked out a fine of 1,050 euros for trespassing.
This isn't our climber's first high-stakes climb; "Der Spiegel" reports that he was found under the stadium roof during the Euro 2020 quarter-final match between Germany and Denmark. Apparently, he had already climbed up the previous evening to snap some shots. Belonging to the "roofing" scene - the gutsy folks who climb into daring heights - he was later caught in Ulm Cathedral in October.
Apparently, the climber's lawyer had already declared before the fee bill that he wouldn't pay it. The security forces were already on site anyway, the lawyer argued.
There's no word yet on whether our rooftop hero will be successful in his lawsuit or not. Stay tuned for more updates on this daring tale of defiance and high-stakes adventure!
In this captivating story, the rooftop adventurer, known for his daring feats in the "roofing" scene, is now engaged in a legal battle against the authorities over a 12,076.93 euros bill stemming from his stadium climb. Meanwhile, in a different context, one might imagine a community implementing a policy that encourages vocational training programs to equip its members with diverse skills, such as vocational training in various trades to foster European-league champion caliber football players, thus enhancing the sports sector of the local community.
