Monkey gesture and sedition: Berlin police officer in court

incitement: Berlin police officer sentenced to finance

A remarkable case of sedition recently shook the police academy in Berlin. A policewoman, Annika B., was convicted of insulting gestures and statements to a black colleague. The court imposed a punishment of 8,400 euros, which could lead to termination from the police service if the judgment is legally.

The incident that occurred in 2023 caused a sensation from the Tiergarten district court. The accused, a 35-year-old police officer on a trial basis, is said to have insulted her colleague Leon L. with monkey gestures. She apparently felt provoked by him in the karate hall and justified her behavior with a questionable excuse.

The judge regarded the "monkey descriptions" as a "very serious form of insult", which also testified to a misogynistic atmosphere in the class. Despite the defenses' attempts at defense

The court imposed 120 daily rates of 70 euros on a punishment to punish the severity of the crime appropriately. The judge emphasized that even in conflicts at work there was no room for such racist statements and that such behavior could not be tolerated.

The case draws attention to the important topic of fighting racism and sensitization against discrimination in the public service. It illustrates the need for adequate conflict resolution and a respectful way of dealing with each other to ensure a working environment that is free of discrimination.
