Stefan Mross, a musician and presenter, has landed himself in trouble with the law. According to sources, Mross has been accused of assaulting a man, resulting in a criminal record that he cannot contest. Although he has not denied the allegations, Mross has stated that the incident was provoked by the victim, who allegedly insulted him.
The district court of Leipzig issued a penalty order against Mross for bodily harm in combination with attempted coercion. In May 2022, he lost his temper in a hotel and became violent towards a man who had allegedly insulted him. Mross did not object to the penalty order, and it became final without a hearing.
Mross claims that the young man approached him in the hotel restaurant, calling him a “schlager fuzzi” and a “playback artist”. After ignoring him for some time, Mross wanted to retire to his room, but the man followed him and continued to insult him. The insults continued, and Mross lost his patience, grabbing the man’s shirt collar in anger.
Despite his outburst, Mross is adamant that he did not hit the man and that the accusation of bodily harm is unfounded. He has accepted the penalty order, issuing a statement explaining that he did not want to go to court because of a “fool”.
The exact amount of the fine he will have to pay is unknown. However, Mross now has a criminal record, which is likely to impact his professional and personal life. Although he is not proud of his actions, Mross insists that the victim provoked him and that the incident is not representative of who he is as a person.
The case serves as a reminder that one should always keep their emotions in check, regardless of the situation. Mross’s story shows how quickly things can escalate, resulting in a criminal record and a damaged reputation. It is important to remain calm and composed, especially in moments of frustration, to avoid making mistakes that could have long-lasting consequences.
