BERLIN. The Syrian Aram A., who became known through a brutal attack on a Jew, has apparently committed at least one other serious crime. As the Bild newspaper reports with reference to information from investigators, the now 18-year-old migrant is said to have raped an underage girl in Berlin while the proceedings were still ongoing.
The case caused a stir across Germany in September 2021: The then 16-year-old Aram A. suddenly attacked the Jew Michael T. in Hamburg’s Mönckebergstrasse and smashed his face. At the time, a vigil for the State of Israel was taking place there, in which the 61-year-old took part. At the time, Aram A. hit him so hard that Michael T. went blind in his right eye.
The district court of Hamburg initially sentenced the Syrian, who lives in Berlin, to 16 months probation. Since Aram A. appealed the verdict, he was sentenced again last Friday, this time to 24 months probation. He should also do 60 hours of social work.
The Berlin public prosecutor’s office declined to issue an official statement, citing the age of the now eighteen-year-old. Aram A. is said to have been noticed before for various crimes. The Berlin public prosecutor’s office did not give details of the rape allegation that has now become public. (JF)
