23-year-old ignites the police building in Bonndorf-investigations are running!

In the tranquil community of Bonndorf in the Waldshut district, a fire was laid in the police building on June 13, which caused an immense damage of around 100,000 euros.

A psychiatric specialist clinic became his new home on the same day after it was in a psychological state of emergency. The police have taken up the investigation into the background of the incident and is currently examining what could have motivated the young man about this devastating act. According to [Südkurier] (https://www.suedkurier.de/region/kreis-waldshut/jetzt-ist-es-raus-23-jaehriger-Hew-wohn-brand-der-donaueschinger-Strasse-in-bonndorf-gerte ;art372586,1241649) is classified in accordance with § 306 of the Criminal Code (StGB).

The topic of arson has increasingly initiated public discussion in recent years. A variety of motifs often play a role, be it personal conflicts, striving for insurance fraud or even politically motivated attacks. It is often difficult to identify the perpetrators, since the act is usually carried out quickly and is also not perceptible. In many cases, insurance is taken over by insurance, unless the crime was deliberately and therefore fraudulent. The violation can result in serious legal consequences. To this end, the law firm explains the different types of arson, which are punished differently for humans and real values.

The legal framework of arson

The threats of arson are high. A distinction is made between simple arson (§ 306 StGB) and serious arson (§ 306a StGB). While simple arson can be punished with prison terms of up to ten years, the serious arson can hardly be estimated and can be punished with much longer prison terms. It is particularly frightening that arson with death consequences that is connected to the death of a person can even be punished with a lifelong sentence, as the lawyer summarizes.

The number of arson has increased, especially in recent years. While over 200 car fire foundations were registered in Berlin in 2018 to summer, the arson in residential buildings does not remain unnoticed. According to experts, there are often the question of whether there is perhaps an insurance fraud behind it in supposedly random fires. The number of unreported cases should be high and leads to the police and fire brigade always have to be on the hat.
