Activists Charged for Property Damage Following Cement Plant Blockade in Leimen
Legal Action Initiated after Cement Factory Obstruction in Leimen - Cement plant in Leimen obstructed, resulting in legal accusations
Steer clear of the nitty-gritty details, here's the lowdown:
A local ruckus went down in Leimen, Rhein-Neckar district, where a bunch of protesters blocked a construction materials company. The whole thing was a standoff against the trade of cement, and now, a 26-year-old is facing the heat as charges have been filed against him for property damage.
Apparently, this kiddo was the one who smeared a sand-adhesive concoction all over a production site at Heidelberg Materials a few weeks back, alongside other mates belonging to the group End Cement. The production halt cost the company a hefty 100,000 euros, and the damaged road set them back another 3,600 euros.
The special forces had to work overtime to pry the activists off the road, which took approximately eight hours. End Cement wasn't happy about Heidelberg Materials' carbon footprint and demanded a shift towards eco-friendly building materials.
It gets juicier: two days prior, our young friend allegedly spray-painted a different building of Heidelberg Materials with green goop, causing damage estimated to be at least 30,000 euros. If convicted of property damage, he could nab a maximum of two years in stir or a hefty fine.
Other protesters weren't off the hook either - they've received summons for property damage too. End Cement shared that two of the summons amount to 3,000 and 4,000 euros, respectively, for 60 and 80 days at 50 euros each. Keep in mind, there might be more summons on the way since the public prosecutor's office promised to mail more regarding the protest actions.
