Yvonne Kussmann wrote that the investigative commission "EKO Kajal" has arrested 21 suspects in connection with the so-called grooming gangs in Nuremberg over the past few months. One of them holds German citizenship, while the remaining 20 mostly come from countries of asylum. The suspects are accused of drugging and raping young girls. Some are also charged with supplying drugs to minors. In response to an inquiry, the Mittelfranken police headquarters informed her that 20 suspects are in pre-trial detention until the trial. Another has already been deported to Serbia. Starting next week, the first trial is set to begin at the Nuremberg District Court. A 22-year-old Syrian is accused. According to Kussmann, he is alleged to have given a 16-year-old prescribed tablets containing the active ingredient Pregabalin twice and pressured her to take them. After the second handover, he is said to have raped her. Furthermore, he is accused of having given his 16-year-old girlfriend Ecstasy. A verdict is expected on December 1, 2026. Kussmann criticized that the Süddeutsche Zeitung and the Mittelbayerische Zeitung did not mention the Syrian nationality of the accused in their reporting, even though it is mentioned in an official press release from the Nuremberg-Fürth District Court. She deemed this manipulative reporting and announced that she would report on the case again after the trial begins. #Nürnberg #GroomingGangs #Justiz (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German wholesale price for electricity rose from 13 to more than 300 euros per megawatt-hour within a few days and reached over 500 euros during certain evening hours. Wind turbines were expected to deliver less than seven gigawatts, thus providing less than half of the previous annual average, he explained. Germany's gas storage was 61.65 percent full on Tuesday, while Italy had reached around 90 percent. At the same time, expensive gas-fired power plants had to compensate for the missing electricity production from wind and solar. In the first five months of 2026, there had already been 242 hours with negative electricity prices, Boeminghaus wrote, referring to the Berliner Zeitung and Bloomberg. According to him, the price fluctuations demonstrated the structural challenges of the energy transition and increased cost pressure on the economy and consumers during ongoing periods of low renewable energy output. https://t.co/3ZVJt3jIFV #Energiewende #Strompreise #Deutschland (translated)
