Three men condemned: women in Hagen brutally kidnapped and threatened!
On April 11, 2025, a judgment of the Hagen district court against three men from Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde and Altena. They were convicted of an attack on two women who occurred in Hagen two years ago. According to radiomk.de , the women were not only beaten with a baseball bat during this. The perpetrators forced the victims to drive to Altena in their vehicle, where they were held for several hours.
The background of the crime was an alleged money transfer to Turkey, which apparently motivated men's use of violence. In the judgment now made, the perpetrators were sentenced to prison and probation punishment that were between two and three years and six months. It is particularly striking that the facts of the deprivation of freedom, coercion and serious bodily harm were regarded as fulfilled in the case of a defendant, while the other two defendants were only partially condemned for certain offenses. However, the judgment is not yet final.
legal classification of the crime
In order to better understand the legal aspects of this conviction, it is helpful to respond to the basic definitions of deprivation of liberty and coercion. According to a BGH decision of June 2, 2018, it is treated in connection with the deprivation of freedom and (attempted) coercion that a deprivation of freedom can be done not only through physical bullets, but also by other means, such as by deception or use. These aspects are essential in the jurisprudence to determine the severity of the offense and to impose the corresponding punishments, which also explains the situation of the convicted in this case Juraexamen.info
In particular, the BGH emphasizes that the deprivation of freedom remains as an independent crime even if it is only a means of acts for other offenses, unless the deprivation of freedom has no injustice. In this case in which women were beaten and threatened, the illegality of the deprivation of freedom can be clearly demonstrated, since additional crimes such as coercion and assault are added.
criteria for deprivation of liberty
- deprivation of freedom in accordance with Section 239 (1) Alt. 2 of the Criminal Code by holding on and physical violence.
- bodily harm by punches in accordance with sections 223 (1) var. 1 and 2 StGb.
- attempted coercion by threat in accordance with Section 240 (1) of the Criminal Code
These legal framework makes it clear that in this case the judgments are important not only for the perpetrators, but also for legal practice, including the different legal interpretations of offenses such as freedom restrictions and their combination with other crimes. The negotiations and the ultimate judgment will therefore not only affect the convicted, but possibly also future cases of this kind, as has already been recognized in further cases for deprivation of freedom Jura-online.de
