Retired seaman, who has 24 previous convictions, avoids jail despite prosecutors’ call for prison term
A German court has given an 82-year-old man a “last warning” to avoid jail after he was found guilty of drug dealing, despite 24 previous convictions.
The retired seaman, who said he wanted to improve his meagre €800 (£690) monthly pension by selling marijuana, was handed a suspended sentence by a court in the northern town of Aurich.
