Cement Plant Blockade Protester Charged for Property Damage in Leimen
Factory blockade lead to legal proceedings in Leimen cement factory case - Cement plant halted, resulting in legal accusations in Gleien.
Here's the lowdown on the recent hubbub at a construction materials company in Leimen, Rhein-Neckar district. A 26-year-old has found himself in hot water following a protest against cement trading that led to a production site blockade. He's been slapped with charges, including property damage, after gluing himself to the site with sandy cement gunk.
The madness all went down in early April, with the activist and his buddies from End Cement causing quite a commotion. Their protest targeted Heidelberg Materials, which took a significant financial hit of 100,000 euros due to hours of downtime. The damage inflicted on the production site isn't a walk in the park either, with the cost estimated around 3,600 euros.
Needless to say, the company wasn't exactly pleased with this turn of events and promptly report the property damage to authorities. The extraction process to remove the protesters from the site took a whopping eight hours. The group spoke out about Heidelberg Materials' CO2 emissions and advocated for the use of sustainable building materials.
This isn't the 26-year-old's first rodeo, as he's also accused of spraying a building at another location with green paint two days prior to the Leimen blockade. That little stunt set the company back at least 30,000 euros. The legal eagle told the press that if convicted, our cement-sprayin', glue-lovin' agitator might be looking at up to two years in the slammer or a massive fine.
Several more summonses have been issued to fellow protesters, with two indicted for property damage. The damages in question total roughly 7,000 euros. Keep your eyes peeled for more summons in relation to the cheeky protest actions.
