Title: Convised offenders submit evidence itself: Series of arson in Berlin

A 44-year-old convicted criminal is under indictment in Berlin for twelve cases of arson. The evidence against him is particularly clear, since it was equipped with an electronic ankle bracelet when he set the cars on fire and thus provided the judiciary itself.

The fire series stretched between December 22, 2020 and February 14, 2021 and affected vehicles in the districts of Neukölln, Kreuzberg, Lankwitz, Mariendorf and Treptow. The man was already convicted of another crime and had served his punishment. As a edition, he then received the electronic ankle bondage, which was to monitor its location. The location data sent by the ankle bondage were able to prove that the perpetrator was at the scene. The fire series ended immediately when it was then arrested, which the indictment also rates as evidence.

The 44-year-old was sentenced to nine years in other cases and a fine for drug trafficking. Another conviction is still pending. He now has to answer for the arson in front of the Berlin District Court.

The enlightened series of arson caused a sensation in the capital. Topics such as arson, the Berlin police and fire brigade as well as the topicality of the cases are discussed in the media. The Berlin police and fire brigade received praise for their successful cooperation in the investigation.

The investigation and the evidence clearly show how modern technology can be used in the investigation of crimes. In this case, the electronic ankle bond has made a decisive contribution to the clarification. This example illustrates how important the cooperation between the judiciary, the police and other authorities is to make offenders down and to ensure the safety of the population.
