Nine people were seriously injured as a result, two of them life-threatening. In some cases, victims had to struggle with the crime for years, because in addition to the physical, there were also psychological consequences.

Perpetrator

The culprit was the Turk Cüneyt D., who already had a number of previous convictions. It was first recorded in Germany in 1980. He was eight years old at the time and came to Hamburg as part of the family reunification. In 1987 the authorities noted his move to Billstedt in the files.

From 1988 onwards, Cüneyt D. was a regular case for law enforcement agencies. Various proceedings were initiated against him. However, he would not have been expelled until he had been sentenced for at least three years.

The Hamburg Regional Court sentenced the attacker to twelve years and nine months in prison for the attack in J’s disco in Hamburg . The jury chamber's verdict was above the ten years and nine months imprisonment requested by the public prosecutor. In 2001 it was announced that the assassin would be deported after serving his prison sentence.
