Robbery attack on 83-year-old: court imposes prison sentence!

In a sensational case, the Kiel district court convicted a 40-year-old Polish citizen of aggravated robbery and aggravated extortion. This happened three years after the nighttime attack on an 83-year-old widow in Breiholz, where the senior woman was attacked, bound and gagged in her own home. The convict, who committed the crime with his accomplices, was sentenced to six years and five months in prison LN Online reported. During the attack, the widow managed to free herself and escape through a window. Despite the traumatic experience, the elderly woman appears to be mentally stable.

In another legal skirmish, the Hamburg Labor Court ruled that a widow who insisted on a widow's pension after 25 years of marriage would not receive it. Her late husband's previous employer had refused to pay because a company agreement stipulates that a widow's pension is only paid for marriages that took place at least five years before the employee's retirement. The court ruled that this regulation was legitimate and did not constitute discrimination since it applied to both men and women fr.de reported. The widow had argued that this constituted unfair disadvantage, but the court rejected this claim.

Both cases highlight the challenges that older people face in society - whether through violent crime or complex bureaucratic hurdles. While the widow from Breiholz ​​received some justice from the court, the woman who was hoping for financial support after a quarter of a century of marriage remains without a widow's pension. The legal decisions raise questions about the protection of survivors and the prosecution of serious crimes.
