Ich bin ein Expat, der seit über 4 Jahren in Baden Wurrtemberg lebt und noch nie auf der falschen Seite des Gesetzes war. Ich habe heute auf dem Weg zurück von der Arbeit beiläufig meine Mailbox überprüft und war schockiert, diesen Brief zu sehen, als ich ihn öffnete. Ich habe keine Ahnung, was ich tun soll, und fühle mich nur ziemlich verloren, da der Anschuldigungen ernst erscheint, obwohl ich annehme, dass ich unschuldig bin. Bitte raten Sie und helfen Sie, was ich als nächstes sollte (wenn dieser Brief gefälscht/real erscheint und wenn ich real ist, wie ich es nähern soll usw.).

Get a lawyer
Lawyer, even though it looks fishy (is this from Mannheim or Heidelberg?).
~~Go there listen to what they say and tell them what is true. If the time does not work for you tell them. But you have to go else they will come get you.~~
~~If you think it is fake, look up the number in the phone book and ask them. But why would a scammer tell you to go to the police station?~~
~~BTW: You just need to present yourself there and do not need to say anything except showing your id. 😉 You can always get a lawyer afterwards.~~
Apparently I was wrong please read other comments.
Do you know about the accusation?
Get a lawyer and do not go there. You do not have to.
No scammer will summon you to the Criminal inspection. Your best bet is to go there and understand what you are being accused of.
P.S. Okay, I am wrong. Please read other comments. I was putting focus on the “real” part.
“… wegen Straftat …”
Something smells fishy here.
I see it’s the department handling sexual crimes. This may give you a clue what it is about
Contrary to the suggestions to go i would advise you not to go and consult with a lawyer instead. It will be registered as ’no comment‘ but not as evidence against you. You dont even seem to know what youre accused off. By going and giving testimony, you can only implicate you especially if you didn’t consult with a lawyer first.
They can request the files and look over them with you.
Another r/germany classic where someone posts a letter asks what to do while the letter states exactly what to do…
I find it a bit odd that they just write „Straftat“ as the offense they invite you in for. Shouldn’t that contain the actual paragraph and time?
Anyway, I think this is just an invitation, not a summon, so you do not have to go.
I would maybe call them, ask what this is about and then decide if you want to give a statement without a lawyer present. Usually it’s best to lawyer up before making any kind of statement, though.
Derzernat 2 is for „Sexualdelikte“.. So it might be something with sexual harassment. Get a lawyer ASAP.
OP, don’t go. Forward the letter to the lawyer.
Call and ask if the letter is real. The wording doesn’t sound authentic.
Get a lawyer and ensure that lawyer informs police in time that you will not come for appointment + lawyer should ask for inspection of file.

That looks pretty real to me. It just looks a bit dodgy because someone filled the gap in the preprint with the generic term Straftat instead of the specific crime you are accused of.
If you feel unsure about that, you are always free to get a lawyer
They got you on camera grabbing that girls booty…
The good about german jurisdiction is: you don‘t have to blame yourself, hence you do not need to go to the police. Only of the Staatsanwaltschaft calls you for a hearing, you are required to go or if you are invited as a witness (but sometimes a witness hearing will switched to a acused hearing during the appointment).
Get a lawyer and send a short reply to the police, that you won‘t follow their invite (but nothing else)
The summons does not come from the public prosecutor’s office, only from the police, and therefore you do not have to comply with it.just Dont go there. Tell them you dont come and if you get another letter better take a lawyer. Dont Talk to the police is the golden rule here
Just call them and ask what this is about.
Anwalt holen, nicht hingehen!
I would go, listen what they want, make no comments unless I can prove it wasn’t me. In case things are not clear I’d get a lawyer. Maybe it ist just a mix up and you can easily get this done by proving you where out of the country. Lawyers cost money and if it wasn’t you why spend it?🤷♂️
It says Sexualdelikte at the top, so this is most likely something about sexual harassment, sexual assault or something similar.
I doesn’t matter if you have a clue or not what this is about, this is serious and you need a lawyer as soon as possible.
And Gone is your visa. Wish ya good travel home. (:
don’t care if you did anything or not – it’s about sex crime; you should get a lawyer like right now.
that letter is real and you may or may not be cooked.
Why is everyone suggesting not to go oO
If you didn’t do anything why would you be scared of talking to the police 🤷🏻
Just go and tell them you have absolutely no idea what this is all about and ask them what you supposedly did.
One time I had a South African friend that was called in for something like this. He got there they looked at him and said. No it can’t be you because you are white. Apparently the accuser said the perpetrator was black and the police with their might detective skills just asked many “Africans” in the area to show up for questioning. They told him: “next time just say you are white” – real dick Tracy’s these guys
Get a lawyer to handle this for you.
Although I’m puzzled by why you think this might be fake. What would the faker achieve by this?
Unsettling you, sure, but if you just showed up with this letter and your ID at the given date and location, and the letter was fake, the police would tell you so.
If it was some burglars trying to get you out of the house on a specific date/time, there are easier ways that don’t dabble in forgery and impersonation of a legal authority. They’d just be piling on those charges for when they get caught.
I work in corrections in BW and the letter seems legit to me. Anything can be forged of course but the layout is authentic. Get a lawyer asap.
