The Lucerne Criminal Court had to deal with Kevin H. on Tuesday. His downhill passion had "gone a bit over his head". Because traveling to the competitions by public transport was too inconvenient, he had stolen cars several times without further ado. "That was simply more convenient," he told the court. However, that doesn't make it any more legal, and he was caught several times while committing his crimes. Nevertheless, he repeated his unorthodox strategy, and after more than a year, the 22-year-old was now on trial in Lucerne.

The court wanted to know why he repeated the offense even though he had been caught. It was clear anyway that he would have to go to prison at some point. "I wanted to speed up the process a bit," he explained to the judges. They subsequently fined him 4,200 francs and sentenced him to a year's unconditional imprisonment. The convict showed some insight. He had stopped downhill racing and would look for a sport that didn't require a car.
