Judgment following collision - Colonel involved in coup faces drunk driving charges, imprisoned.
A court ruled that the former military officer was guilty of recklessly putting road users in danger, intentionally driving without a license, and forging documents. This happened despite him having lost his driving license due to drunk driving charges in the past.
In 2022, Eder was caught with a blood alcohol level of 1.8 while driving and crashing into a tree while trying to evade police. Just two weeks later, he was caught with a level of 1.3 in his blood. During this escape attempt, he caused damage to two parked cars, a scooter, and a motorcycle.
The trial in question seems somewhat tame compared to the one Eder will have to face in Frankfurt/Main on May 21. It's been alleged that he belonged to the military group supporting terror mastermind Heinrich XII. Reiß (72).
This extreme organization intended to carry out a coup and an attack on the German Parliament in Berlin starting from August 2021. The charge against Eder: membership in a terrorist group. The punishment for this charge could be up to ten years in prison.
Security was tight at the trial in Munich as Eder stated he'd been consuming more alcohol since the pandemic began. In his final address, which took almost four hours, Eder asserted he would never serve the sentence: "I will do a few more things, then I'll say goodbye to the world. I have no intention of spending my life in a cell like this."
Eder also spoke about his experiences in military operations in Georgia, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Rwanda. Maximilian Eder served as a commanding officer in the Special Forces Command (KSK). He said, "I've seen dismembered bodies, unbearable suffering. When we returned from the missions, we'd drink beer or wine." The prosecutor had requested a sentence of eleven months' imprisonment and a two-year driving ban, but the judge ruled out a suspended sentence.
