Germany's Federal Court of Justice partially overturned the sentence of Daniel J., convicted of setting fire to a motorhome in which three people were sleeping. The incident occurred in May 2025 at the port of Dömitz (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). The court upheld the conviction for attempted murder and aggravated arson but found an error in the assessment of 'increased criminal energy' during sentencing. The case has been remanded to a different chamber of the Schwerin Regional Court for a new hearing; a date has not yet been set.
The 'Camping am Wasserfall' campsite in Lingen-Hanekenfähr (Lower Saxony) is situated between the Ems River, the Dortmund-Ems Canal, and the hotel at the waterfall.

Facilities include an outdoor pool, children's playgrounds, bike and canoe rentals, and the 'Ems-Island' restaurant at the adjacent hotel. The campsite has been operating since the 1960s and attracts many visitors each year.

The change is due to overloaded fine enforcement agencies that could not process cases within the previous timeframe.
