Lately, a 40-year-old man was standing in front of Münster District Court for illegally stealing thousands of books from university and city libraries. He concealed the books below his sweater, or even in his folder. He used to sell stolen books through ebay. He must have obtained a sum of 40,000 €.
The man had earlier relevant convictions. He was accused of the similar acts and already has been sentenced to trial. The judges were very disturbed and the man has been convicted to an imprisonment of 2 years and 7 months.
