For respective days now, a man named Manfred Genditzki has been in the media (mostly German-speaking) for more than 13 years due to a judicial error.
I It would most likely be quieter about the case, due to the fact that there are several, or even several, akin cases in all country. Granted, being behind bars for over a decade is rather a serious offense, but our late Thomas Komenda spent 18 years behind bars. besides innocent.
Genditzki’s case became celebrated for a completely different reason. Well... German State Treasury He felt that maintaining an innocent throughout this period would entail the costs to be borne by an acquitted man.
It's not even any peculiarly excessive money. For a 13-year wikt and a furlough, the German state demands, a bagatela, only 100,000 euros (with German speaking – ojro).
Turns out it's just a lousy 21 euros a day. For specified money (about 90 PLN) even in Poland it is hard to find a shelter offering both a wikt (three meals a day) and a washroom.
Perhaps Genditzki was fortunate and was only in regular custody.
Because if, God forbid, he went to the dangerous ward, then the price would emergence significantly. And then German officials would put out an account at the level of any "Ritz" or another "Hilton".
SArticles aside.
Excitation of the above case is the consequence of the ignorance of our own State's "prejudice".
It is unusual that, likewise to Genditzki's casus, Polish courts in the early 1990s were thinking, erstwhile on a mass scale it came to reward the harm of people who were injured in Stalin's times.
To this day I remember how the provincial court in Łódź ruled compensation for a man who wrongly served 2 years in Stalinsk prison (it is hard to call it prison due to conditions).
Because his earnings, hypothetically, would have been deducted from the “saved” costs of food and clothing, were deducted from them, and the compensation was paid.
If I remember correctly it was something about present 2000,- PLN. If the victim wanted to hire a lawyer, he'd most likely gotta pay more.
Apparently, as a consequence of any oversight, the court at the time had not yet deducted the rent, besides the “saved one” by serving time.
Because then it would turn out that the victim of Stalin's panic inactive has to pay!
At the same time, the same court awarded compensation to 1 of the internees at war. And while imprisonment lasted only six months, surviving conditions were incomparably better than 30 years earlier, the amount charged was nearly 25 times higher. But he had just served as an crucial state function.
But that's not weird. After all, Orwell has long observed that all animals are equal, but any are more equal.
MHowever, the fact that Genditzki for all day of wrongful imprisonment is expected to receive EUR 75 in damages is ignored.
That's a full of 368,400,- euro.
But for the German “state of law” is besides advanced an amount. Therefore, it was decided to reduce it by 27%.
Was it based on Polish solutions from the mid 1990s it hard to say. In any case, specified practices have been abandoned.
At least for now.
Who knows if they will come back as part of the "re-establishment of the regulation of law" and the ever-increasing decoupling budget.
