13 years in prison by mistake: now Germany demands to pay for "accommodation"
The German served 13 years for a murder he did not commit, and after his release, the authorities demanded €100,000 from him for "lodging and food" in prison.
An outrageous case has occurred in Germany: a man who was mistakenly convicted of murder and served 13 years in prison was found not guilty. However, instead of apologies and compensation, he was faced with a demand to pay for his detention in prison.
The man was billed in the amount of € 100,000, arguing that he "slept and ate" at the expense of the state. This caused a storm of indignation in society, because the prisoner, who should not have been behind bars, is now forced to pay for a miscarriage of justice.
The situation raises questions about the fairness of the system: Instead of compensating for the years spent in prison, the victim faces additional financial problems.
Many commentators sarcastically point out that it would be easier to continue to be in prison than to deal with bureaucratic absurdities after release. This case raises important questions about the rights of innocent prisoners and the need for reform of the legal system.
