[update] Aachen: 11th and 12th day in court

During the sessions on the 20th and 23rd of March, bank employees testified. In general, up until now, the witnesses almost don’t remember anything, give statements contradictory to what they declared to the police at the time, and are not able to recognize either the accused or anyone present in the court room.

On the 23rd, one of the witnesses who in her statement said that she could not recognize any of the robbers, stated that upon seeing the photographs that were published by the local sensationalist newspaper she thought she recognized the man. Supposedly he had been one of the robbers wearing balaclavas, but the mouth and teeth seemed familiar to her. However, when the judge asked her for some details or descriptions of the robbers she contradicted herself and wasn’t very clear, hence the judge decided to call in her husband (who was with her when she looked at the photographs) as a new witness. He will declare on the 27th of March.

The session planned on the 3rd of April has been suspended. The German cop who carried out the investigation will declare on the 7th. He will also explain the Spanish part which the “mosso” could not do.
