Neighbourhood terrorism, terror from the neighbour, asymmetric neighbourhood war
My neighbor has found a simple trick to get me down: he calls an authority or writes a letter accusing me of criminal activity.
Then two or three officials, usually armed, arrive at my door unannounced. I am then accused of the charge and have to defend myself for something that never happened or that is to be seen in a completely different light.
My explanation is recorded, but that is not enough to stop the matter immediately.
So I am forced to hire a court-approved expert. In most cases, I also need a lawyer and a translator.
All in all, costs between 3000 and 5000 euros arise. Then the authorities realize that it was all a false alarm and stop the proceedings.
Of course, I am left with the costs.
So my neighbor can cause me costs of several thousand euros with an effort of just a few cents. For him, on the other hand, the matter has no consequences at all.
He has done this four times in the last few years.
