Everything about Klaus-peter Sabotta totally explained
Klaus-Peter Sabotta was an
extortionist who
sabotaged German
railways in
December 1998, only six months after the
Eschede disaster. He claimed to represent former
employees of the German railway operator
Deutsche Bahn who had been made
redundant, and demanded a
ransom of
DM10 million. His motive for the crime was a need to pay off heavy
debts he'd incurred in his business activities.
The first act of tampering, near
Wilmersdorf was detected and repaired before any train passed, while a second attack on the
InterCityExpress line at the small town of
Uchtspringe, 60 kilometres north of
Magdeburg, failed to derail its intended target.
The third act of sabotage, near
Anklam resulted in the derailment of a northbound
freight train. Had a passenger train due at the time not been half an hour late, it would have smashed into the wreckage of the freight train.
He was arrested as he attempted to collect the ransom at a
filling station in
Bavaria. On
February 4 2000 he was convicted of
attempted murder and attempted extortion, and sentenced to
life imprisonment.
