Life Sentences and Deportation After Fatal Car RaceTwo Turkish nationals received long prison terms in 2026 for a deadly 2025 street race, with deportation proceedings underway in Baden-Württemberg.
- The Stuttgart Regional Court sentenced the main defendant to life imprisonment and his brother to 13 years for murder and attempted murder in a 2025 car race.
- Both convicted individuals hold Turkish citizenship, and the Justice Ministry plans their deportation once the verdict is final.
- State Secretary Siegfried Lorek highlighted the deportation aims to enhance public safety, referencing the similar Heilbronn Wollhaus case.
- Deportation procedures are managed by the Stuttgart regional authority, prioritizing public security over the offenders' residency rights.
The expulsion procedures against the two perpetrators are already underway here as well. After the judgment becomes final, the final decision can be made. The approach is the same as in the Heilbronn Wollhaus-Raser case. We are pursuing the expulsion of criminals consistently, because it is about the safety of the people in Baden-Württemberg.— Siegfried Lorek (CDU), State Secretary in the Ministry of Justice and Migration, told our editors that the expulsion procedures against the perpetrators are already under way here as well, and that after the judgment becomes final the final decision can be made; the approach is like the Heilbronner Wollhaus-Raser case, and the expulsion of criminals will be pursued consistently to safeguard people's safety in Baden-Württemberg.
