Federal Court of Justice

For months, the Schaller family lived in the nightmare of knowing their daughter's killer was walking the streets.

In December 2021, the Federal Court of Justice rejected Hörstermann's appeal.

His sentence was final.

He was ordered to report to prison.

The appeal court agreed in 2020.

Then the Federal Court of Justice, the highest civil court in Germany, overturned that on 7 April 2022 and sent the case back down to be heard again.

And where does it stand now?

Unresolved.

Dann seit 2021 produziert Katjes alle Produkte klimaneutral, jetzt auch gut sichtbar auf jedem Beutel und dann noch mal darunter wiederholt „Klimaneutral" mit einem QR-Code.

Es geht um eine deutsche BGH-Entscheidung hier und, und der BGH hat im Endeffekt entschieden, klimaneutral ist mehrdeutig.

Kann nämlich entweder bedeuten, die Emissionsvermeidung oder Reduktion, aber eben auch, dass der Claim nur auf einer Kompensation beruht.

Und was dem BGH hier nicht gefallen hat, ist, dass man zu der Information, dass der Claim „klimaneutral in dem Fall eben auf einer Kompensation beruht hat, nur über den Umweg aufrufbar war, indem man den QR-Code gescannt hat.

Prosecutors did not say whether any classified information was transferred, though the investigation appears focused on technologies considered strategically sensitive.

Officers from the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office arrested the couple in Munich after warrants were issued by an investigating judge at Germany's Federal Court of Justice on May 13.

Searches of homes and workplaces were still underway Wednesday.

The suspects are expected to appear before a judge the same day.
