Appeal in the Drosten trial: Camper couple in the focus of the judiciary!
An incident at the campsite in 2022 continues to make headlines. The appeal process against two Berlin campers who insulted the virologist Christian Drosten and took photos of him without his consent begins on October 1, 2025 at the Neubrandenburg regional court. The process already has a history: In April 2024, the two campers - a 51-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman - were sentenced to fines at the Waren district court. However, these penalties, 1,200 euros for the man and 375 euros for the woman, were suspended after the court issued a warning with a penalty clause, reports Das NDR.
The incident itself occurred in June 2022 when Drosten was on his way back to their tent with his four-year-old son from brushing his teeth. At the campsite, he and his son were suddenly mobbed by the camper couple. The man called Drosten the “biggest criminal walking around” and loudly expressed his contempt, while the woman also attacked him with insulting language. The three banned, although the defendants reported the incidents by sharing the images in a public Telegram chat group, this is considered a serious violation of the Art Copyright Act. These aspects illustrate how the allegations of insults, slander and coercion arose that ultimately led to the previous convictions, informed The Daily Mirror.
Appeal process: A new attempt
Now, after the appeals of both the defendants and the prosecution, the judiciary is waiting for the trial to continue. The judge will consider the defense's arguments on October 1 and determine whether the district court's original rulings will be upheld or possibly revised. Another date is scheduled for October 6th, which will allow the judiciary to take a closer look at this explosive and publicly discussed issue.
As the incident makes clear, perceived security in the digital age is a delicate matter. Insults or threats, whether in real life or on the Internet, can have significant legal consequences. A look at the legal basis shows that such behavior cannot remain without consequences. In this context, appropriate legal action in the event of insults and threats can have serious legal consequences, as shown on ruisingersteiner.de is explained in detail.
It remains exciting to see how the appeal process will proceed and whether the original judgments will be confirmed or changed. The public and especially the media will certainly continue to follow closely what will happen in Neubrandenburg on October 1st and during the following dates.
