Trial in the Kellermayr Case Begins in March

A 61-year-old German is on trial in Wels for threats against Lisa-Maria Kellermayr. The regional court has set four trial days and expects a verdict on March 20.

Kellermayr Case: 61-Year-Old on Trial for Dangerous Threats

The defendant is accused of having threatened the doctor in four emails and three Twitter messages between February and July 2022. He is said to have announced that he would put her before a yet-to-be-established "people's tribunal" and bring her "to the dock and then surely to prison". If convicted, the man, who is already known in Germany, faces one to ten years in prison. The vaccination advocate Kellermayr had received threats by email and via social media - presumably from the anti-vaccination scene - for months during the Corona pandemic. On November 22, 2021, she filed a complaint for the first time. In the summer of 2022, she closed her practice for security reasons. A few weeks later, she took her own life.
