Since the 19th century, Europe has gradually moved away from corporal punishment towards liability based on types of prohibited acts and the protection of goods such as health and property. The coverage of the event differed in emphasis: some media focused on the social context and the account of intoxicated passengers, while others focused on information about the detainees' citizenship. From the perspective of the proceedings, the key findings remain regarding the course of the incident, the involvement of specific individuals, the extent of damages, and any potential injuries. In practice, the further course of the case depends on decisions by the prosecutor's office and the court, including an assessment of whether grounds exist for applying temporary arrest or milder preventive measures.
