Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The police union has shown relief at the charges brought in the alleged sex scandal against the inspector of the Baden-Württemberg police. The presumption of innocence also applies in this case, emphasized GdP state chairman Gundram Lottmann on Wednesday. "But it is good and important if there is clarity here and you can also complete the long process."
The country's highest-ranking police officer has been charged with sexual assault. According to the investigation, the 49-year-old, who has since been suspended, is said to have sexually harassed a police officer in Stuttgart almost a year ago - in return for career advantages. He denies the allegations. The district court of Stuttgart must now decide whether and when to start a main trial.
