I’m a student living in a dorm in Germany and I’m currently dealing with a confusing situation.
A few months ago, I reported that money was missing from my wallet in my room. After that, police did some basic checks about who had access, and they later asked me about it. I explained that some people had been to my room, but they were friends at that time and I didn’t accuse anyone.
Recently, some of those people have now filed a complaint against me, saying I entered their rooms when they were not there and suggesting I might have taken something. One person also claimed they lost a wallet, but it was later found in lost and found.
As far as I know:
There is no direct evidence like stolen items found or anything like that
The only point being mentioned is that I had access to their rooms
CCTV (if any) would only show entry, not anything happening inside
Now I’m being blamed, and I’m unsure how serious this situation is. I have already stopped contact with them and I’m waiting to see if police contact me.
I just want to understand how these situations are usually handled and what I should expect next.
