A German court has sentenced Farhad N. to life in prison for murder and attempted murder over a deadly car attack on a Verdi trade union demonstration in Munich.

A 37-year-old mother and her two-year-old child were killed in the February 2025 attack, while more than 40 people were injured.

The Higher Regional Court in the Bavarian capital also found that the 25-year-old Afghan national bore a particularly serious degree of guilt, making an early release less likely.
