The interrogation confirmed the suspicion that the 22-year-old had interfered with the train’s bogie before departure. Now the man has to answer to the judiciary. The regional public prosecutor’s office in Bern-Mittelland has opened proceedings once morest the 22-year-old for disrupting rail traffic and property damage. It is the presumption of innocence.
When asked by 20 minutes, the canton police did not provide any information on the possible motive for the crime or on the manipulation carried out on the train.
