But now it turns out: The disciplinary law should not act as a double punishment. District spokesman Sebastian Brückner (34) said that the crime was already extensively punished by the criminal proceedings. "The disciplinary proceedings were therefore hired by ordering the district administrator on September 20, 2024," said Brückner.
