A case of arson attack took place near Stuttgart on 9 April 2011. Fourteen members of the right-wing milieu were suspected to have set a garden shed on fire, in which five men of Italian and Turkish origin sought refuge after an argument between both groups broke out. The victims were able to escape from the garden shed. One of them got slightly injured. Due to the lack of evidences, the police released the fourteen suspects the next day. According to preliminary investigations, two men, aged 20 and 21, are accused of grievous bodily harm, attempted murder, arson attack and attempted arson attack resulting in death. Investigations against further 34 suspects continue.
