- A 61-year-old woman insulted two women with homophobic language at the Glattzentrum.
- The court convicted her of verbal abuse and assault.
- She received a conditional fine of 1,200 francs and additional costs of around 2,100 francs.
The Glattzentrum in Wallisellen ZH is always busy during the Advent season. On a Friday evening shortly before the first Advent last year, a 61-year-old woman from the Zurich Unterland was among the visitors - apparently in a less than festive mood, as reported by the Zürcher Unterländer newspaper.
It remains unclear exactly how her outburst came about. However, according to a now legally binding penalty order, she insulted two women with expressions such as "shitty life", "dirty lesbians" and "stupid bitch" and shouted loudly: "These dirty lesbians always engage in power struggles anyway." She also elbowed one of them.
The result: a conviction for verbal abuse and assault. The pensioner received a conditional fine of 20 daily rates of 60 francs each - a total of 1200 francs. She must also pay a fine of CHF 400, legal costs of CHF 1,600 and witness compensation of CHF 113.
