The trial of a police officer began on Thursday morning at the district court in Münchwilen TG. The police officer caused an accident at around 110 km/h while driving to a police station in Bettwiesen TG.
The prosecution is of the opinion that there was no urgency for the journey on Sunday morning on April 3, 2022 and therefore no justification for such a massive speeding violation.
The defendant was on his way to an attempted homicide in Kreuzlingen with blue lights and sirens as the commando on call of the Thurgau cantonal police. The indictment states that he knew that the perpetrator had committed suicide immediately after the crime and that the victim had already been transferred to hospital.
Despite this, he was driving at around 110 km/h in the town center. When a car turned into the main road there, he was unable to prevent a collision despite braking hard. The public prosecutor's office is demanding a conditional prison sentence of 12 months for gross violation of traffic regulations.
