German Sentenced to 14 Years for Dortmund Football Team Bus Bomb
2018-11-28
[An Nahar] A German man who launched a shrapnel bomb attack on the team bus of football club Borussia Dortmund in April 2017 to make money on the club's shares diving was on Tuesday sentenced to 14 years in jail.

A court in Dortmund found Sergej Wenergold, 29, guilty of 28 counts of attempted murder after he detonated three explosive devices while the bus was en route to the stadium for a Champions League game last year.

After an 11-month trial, the trained electrician, who was born in Russia, was also found guilty of causing an explosion and two counts of causing serious injury after the blasts wounded Spanish defender Marc Bartra and a police officer.
Good.

#2  This is taking soccer hoolligan behaviour entirely too far. How likely are his fellow fans likely to avoid or shun him?

#1  The only problem - he can get out after serving 2/3 of his sentence under German law. Prosecutors were asking for 20 years; defense attorneys were looking for a lot less.
