Afghan man given life sentence for deadly Munich car-ramming

The court found the attack was religiously motivated and said Farhad N. will likely remain in prison beyond 15 years.

  • On Thursday, a Munich court sentenced 25-year-old Farhad N. to life in prison following his conviction for the February 13, 2025, car-ramming attack on a labor union demonstration.
  • During the assault, Farhad drove into a procession, fatally injuring a 37-year-old mother and her two-year-old daughter while leaving 44 others with serious or life-threatening injuries.
  • Prosecutors stated Farhad sought to prove himself a "good Muslim" by attacking arbitrarily chosen people in Germany as a reaction to situations in Islamic countries.
  • The defendant was convicted of two counts of murder and 23 of attempted murder, with the court ruling the crime carried "particularly serious" guilt, precluding early release after 15 years.
  • Farhad arrived in Germany unaccompanied at age 15, and the attack became one of several immigrant-involved incidents influencing the national election campaign held shortly after the events.
