What a roller coaster ride of emotions it was: Last October, Gil Ofarim (39) accused the staff of a Leipzig hotel of insulting him anti-Semitically. After months of investigation, the singer was suddenly in the pillory: He is said to have only made up the allegations! On March 31, the public prosecutor’s office in Leipzig brought charges once morest the 39-year-old. He is charged with defamation and false accusation.
Within four weeks, the former “Let’s Dance” winner and dance partner from Ekaterina Leonova (35) respond to the indictment. But so far the musician has probably missed it!
What really happened that evening at the Hotel The Westin Leipzig? You can see the recordings of the surveillance cameras in the video above!
Gil Ofarim has not yet commented on the charges
His lawyer would have received the indictment on April 11, as Hans Jagenlauf, the presiding judge of the Leipzig district court, said in an interview with “Bild“explained. So far, however, the competent chamber has not been able to make a decision regarding the opening of the main proceedings.
“Mr. Ofarim has until Monday to comment on the allegations,” says Jagenlauf.
According to Ofarim’s lawyer, Markus Hennig, the singer wanted to stick to his statement.
