He was only released almost three weeks ago: Now Brian Keller has been arrested in Germany. Switzerland was looking for him by international warrant. This was reported by "20 Minuten" with reference to the Zurich cantonal police.
According to the report, Keller was arrested in Germany at 7.30 p.m. on Saturday evening after "extensive search measures". It is not yet known what Brian Keller is accused of. The arrest warrant was issued by the Zurich public prosecutor's office.
On July 23, "Switzerland's most famous inmate" was released from prison under certain conditions. He is said to have broken the cheekbone of Tiktoker "Skorp808" three times with several punches, whereupon the compulsory measures court of the Zurich district court remanded him in custody.
The 28-year-old had to receive socio-educational support, undergo psychotherapy and observe a ban on contact and social distancing with his opponent "Skorp808", whom he had knocked out.
The responsible caregivers were obliged to inform the public prosecutor's office if Keller did not comply with these conditions. Meanwhile, the criminal proceedings for incitement to crime or violence and assault were continued.
Keller became known nationwide in 2013 through an SRF documentary as "juvenile offender Carlos". The Swiss national was released on November 10, 2023 - accompanied by the media and the public - after spending years in various prisons.
