Concurrent offense classification and modification of criminal conviction for insult

The Federal Court of Criminal Justice (BGH) modified the lower court's conviction, removing the finding of guilt for the charge of concurrent insult in one specific instance, while rejecting the remainder of the defendant's appeal as unfounded and leaving the other convictions intact. The dispute stemmed from a criminal appeal challenging the Landgericht Potsdam's sentencing and guilty verdict, which included multiple offenses and a specific count of insult alleged to have occurred in concert with other acts. The decisive legal basis was the doctrine of concurrent offenses (*Tateinheit*), where the BGH determined that the insult in the cited section did not legally stand as a separate concurrent offense, necessitating a correction to the dispositive part of the judgment to reflect this legal recharacterization.
