Daniel S. was sentenced to life imprisonment with subsequent preventive detention for the fatal arson attack in Solingen.

The court did not find a racist motive, attributing the crime instead to the defendant's psychological issues.

Criticism arose over investigative shortcomings, as right-wing extremist evidence and witness accounts were initially overlooked.

The trial from January to July 2025 revealed extensive digital proof of the defendant's far-right sympathies.

I have caused terrible suffering. What I want to say is: I am truly sorry.
— Daniel S. spoke personally about the crime during the trial.

New evidence in the Solingen arson trial suggests manipulation of the investigations.

An originally classified 'right-wing motivated' note was hand-edited and removed from the files, raising doubts about the credibility of the authorities.

The co-plaintiffs criticize withheld evidence and demand full transparency to uncover the true motives behind the attack.

The trial will continue on June 2 at the Wuppertal District Court, while the public prosecutor has declined to initiate investigations against the officers.

This does not do justice to the victims and their families, nor to all the residents of Solingen, who have a right to know the truth about the background of the crime.
— In a joint statement, the co-plaintiffs criticize the investigative authorities.
