Gil Ofarim: Defamation trial will take place in October

Gil Ofarim's false accusation and defamation trial will go ahead as scheduled on October 24. As reported by the "Bild" newspaper, an application for bias against a judge at the Leipzig Regional Court finally failed. According to a spokeswoman for the higher regional court, there would be no appeal against the decision. The indictment had already been approved and the main proceedings opened.

The procedure revolves around the events on the evening of October 5, 2021 in the Leipzig hotel "The Westin". The public prosecutor accuses Ofarim of truthfully claiming in a video and to the police that an employee of the hotel asked him to "put away his star". However, the prosecutors assume that Ofarim only invented the anti-Semitic insults against him.
