Authorities are silent on the details. The Hannover house and Prince Guelph’s law firm also declined to comment on the content of the matter, according to the dpa.
The 66-year-old man was arrested after a leak on Monday night at his hunting lodge in Grnau (Gmunden district). He is said to have “verbally threatened several times” and smashed a window with a traffic sign. As he had already been denounced in the recent past for various crimes, the Wels prosecutor issued an arrest warrant after court approval, police said.
On Wednesday afternoon, the nobleman appeared before the Wels Regional Court Judge. The court ruled that Prince Guelph should be released by more lenient means. The police announced that they were not allowed to establish contact with the “alleged victims”, that they should move away from the “alleged crime scene” and “remain in a certain place”. The location was not answered. The prosecution desisted from appealing this decision.
Threatened with thugs
The authorities are extremely covered in the matter. The prosecution does not want to comment on the “Grnau Cause” once the preliminary investigation is concluded. There are only official confirmations of the facts, not the identity of the 66-year-old defendant. Only unofficially can we find out that this is the prince, who by the way is extremely popular in Grnau.
According to “Krone”, an employee filed a complaint Monday because Ernst August had asked her and her husband to “sneak up on them”, otherwise he would send a gang of thugs. In addition, she had ripped off a sign and smashed a window on an object from the Duke of Cumberland Foundation, she said. Shortly before 5 p.m., ten policemen surrounded the hunting lodge and arrested the prince.
The prince’s police file
In July, Ernst August had already had problems with the police and the judiciary on two occasions: once it was reported that he called the executive and told him that a couple wanted to assassinate him. A patrol found him alone in the house, said the couple was outdoors. As a result, the great-grandson of the last German emperor, Wilhelm II, behaved very aggressively and officials must have put him down. On medical advice he was transferred to the hospital. Apparently a police officer was injured during the operation. A few days later, the 66-year-old man is said to have threatened a police officer with violence with a baseball bat. Meanwhile, according to “Krone”, the Scharnstein police have been equipped with body cameras.
Due to the July incidents, the defendant is already under investigation on various charges. A spokesperson for the Wels Public Prosecutor’s Office reported in July that it was an attempt to resist state power, dangerous threats, some of them fatal and serious bodily harm. Prince Guelph was not questioned at the time, but had announced a statement through his lawyer.
“The prince is sick”
