the legal maximum imprisonment of 15 years

That is a problem.

Well, we consider the crime as one. If they had hijacked 3,000 planes and killed one person with one plane, they could be sentenced to 3,000 x 15 years. But the whole crime is seen as one.

And, only the leading figures of a crime (the actual offender and the encouragers) can be fined with life imprisonment. Those who aided can only get 15 years, according to the Penal Code.

However, the Federal Prosecutors told the press today, that they´re going to appeal. They´re convinced that Mzoudi is guilty.

With that step taken, both terror trials in Germany will be brought to the Federal Court House. The conviction of Motassadeq (15 years) was appealed by his defense attorneys.
