Matthias Ecke: Trial for alleged attackers remains unscheduledThe files have been back with the youth judge since late May, but Dresden Local Court has set no hearing date.
- More than two years after the attack, no date has been set; according to the local court, the judge is trying to coordinate dates with the defense lawyers.
- Ecke was attacked in Dresden on May 3, 2024, while putting up European election posters, suffering cheekbone and eye-socket fractures among other injuries; a Green politician nearby was also assaulted.
- In January 2025, prosecutors indicted three young men: two on two counts of dangerous bodily harm and the third for aiding the offense.
- After a change of jurisdiction in November 2025 and the rejection of a complaint against denying Ecke co-plaintiff status, the files have been back with the youth judge since late May, and the court says there is no deadline for setting dates.
