Oggi ho ricevuto questo messaggio in cui mi chiedevano di pagarli 100 euro in modo che non andassero avanti con un caso che presumo. Giusto per contesto, alcune settimane fa ho ricevuto una lettera dalla polizia che voleva che fossi testimone di un crimine e ho inviato loro le mie informazioni. Non capisco che non mi abbiano fornito alcuna prova che ho commesso qualcosa, quindi sono confuso su cosa dovrei fare qui?

They are saying you did something called “nötigung”
Did you yell at somebody or insult them? Stalk them?.
I’d get a lawyer

Looks like a scam?
Its probably best if you just pay, otherwise you need to get a lawyer, which will be more expensive.
I take you dont doubt that the letter is real?
You can either pay and make it go away or you don’t and see what they have against you to move forward. Or you can consult a lawyer.
“Nötigung” menas coercion. It means you forced someone to do something you wanted them to do. If you did commit that crime, you now have the option to pay 100€ and you’re done with it. If you didn’t commit the crime, you should of course not pay. If you don’t pay, they will probably prosecute the whole thing and it’ll end up in front of a criminal judge, where you can either get convicted or acquitted, depending on the evidence.
Getting a lawyer is almost always a good idea, especially if you’re unsure about the whole situation.
call them and ask. also, the IBAN bank details are different in the letter and in the footnote. which may or may not mean its fake. ask. don’t just assume.
So what does the lawyer say you hired, considering you’re being accused of a crime?
Are you actively driving a car in Germany & do you have a car?
Give them a call if you are not sure what this is about
Just talk to your lawyer
If you don’t even know why you would be accused of something like that then I would take a lawyer (Strafverteidiger) if you can afford it (he can also apply for “Prozesskostenhilfe” which means the state might pay the lawyer for you if you can’t afford it). The lawyer would ask them for a copy of the file (which you can’t ask for or probably wouldn’t even understand if they show you) and can then tell you how to proceed.
Just pay it, it’s the best outcome. A lawyer would be more expensive in total.
100€ for Nötigung? That sounds like you blocked someone from leaving their driveway with their car by blocking it with your car or something similar. Can’t be something bigger than that
I’d give them a call and ask them what that’s about.
Letter seems real, the mentioned Bank Account is correct so it doesn’t seem like a scam. If you already know that you had some interaction with police before and you know what this is about, it might makes sense to pay it. 100€ is quite low amount and a lawyer will be much more expensive. If you don’t have any idea what this is about, you can write or better call them and ask what exactly this is about. There is also an “Anlage” so more information attached, you might check if there is any extra information
Most likely a scam. IBAN is wrong. Check the website of the Staatsanwaltschaft.
