Top German lawyer launches class-action suit against global officials for COVID lockdowns

03/24/2021

Dr. Reiner Fuellmich - a top German trial lawyer who won lawsuits against Deutsche Bank and Volkswagen - is leading a team of 34 lawyers prosecuting global officials over COVID-19 lockdowns. Their class-action lawsuits target those they believe are responsible for the lockdowns, from local level politicians to the World Health Organization (WHO) and pharmaceutical companies. They seek damages for people negatively impacted by lockdowns, saying it is a deliberate crime against humanity and must be legally qualified as crimes against humanity, as defined in Section 7 of the International Criminal Code.
