BERLIN (AP) — A Saudi doctor was convicted of charges including murder and sentenced to life in prison Friday over the car-ramming attack on a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg in 2024 that left six people dead.
The defendant, 51-year-old Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, went on trial at the state court in the eastern city in November. The court found that he carries “particularly serious” guilt, German news agency dpa reported. That means he won’t be eligible for release after 15 years as is usually the case in Germany.
