Title: Justice Serves Again in Acid Attack on Businessman Günther
In the aftermath of a chilling acid attack on German businessman Bernhard Günther in Haan near Düsseldorf, the latest verdict in the case has been upheld. This time, it's the second offender's conviction that didn't falter, as Germany's Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in Karlsruhe dismissed their appeal, leaving the 11-year prison sentence intact. The Wuppertal Regional Court's judgment was deemed free of legal faults, according to the BGH.
This distressing event took place back in 2018, when Günther, formerly the CFO of energy company Innogy, was returning home from a jog. As he ventured outside, the cold air was broken by the sudden splash of highly potent acid, leaving him with severe injuries. His sight was even at risk, giving him a hair-raising moment in his life.
The accomplice to this heinous crime was brought to justice earlier, in 2022. Likewise, their conviction was recently confirmed, with no room for dispute. The shadowy figures behind the acid attack on Günther, however, continue to evade the authorities, remaining unidentified to this day.
Even as the latest developments in the search for the attackers remain elusive, various intriguing news stories abound.
