Norderstedt: Announcement of millions after the Sparkasse attack - who is really liable?

Norderstedt, Deutschland - in Norderstedt, Schleswig-Holstein, broke out chaos three years ago when a Sparkasse branch was brutally attacked. The perpetrators cracked over 600 lockers and left a devastating damage in a double -digit millions! Five victims have now teamed up and complain against the bank because they believe that the vault was not sufficiently secured. A legally appointed expert will now take a closer look at the security of the bank.

In the first instance, the plaintiffs had already won a victory, but the Haspa, the bank, made an appeal. Now the fate of the case is in the hands of the Hamburg Higher Regional Court. The plaintiff's lawyer suspects that the Sparkasse will play temporarily because the limitation period expires at the end of the year. The Haspa clearly rejects this claim and emphasizes that it does everything in her power to clarify the matter.

damage in the millions

The plaintiff's lawyer speaks of a total damage of around 40 million euros, while the Haspa estimates the damage to eleven million euros. This discrepancy raises questions and shows how serious the situation is. The decision of the Higher Regional Court will be decisive, not only for the plaintiffs, but also for the reputation of the bank and the trust of customers in the security of their valuables.
