Degowski had attacked a bank in Ruhr town of Gladbeck and took several hostages in hostage-taking of Gladbeck in August 1988 with his furr imprisoned accomplice Hans-Jürgen Rösner. In course of ir three-day flight, perpetrators shot two hostages, a policeman was killed during operation by a traffic accident.

Particular severity of debt found

Because of crime, Degowski and Rösner 1991 were sentenced to life imprisonment by Landgericht Essen. Later, in case of both perpetrators, courts identified a particular severity of debt, which precludes early release after 15 years. For Degowski detained in Werl, a maximum period of 24 years was fixed, which he had long served.

2013, Landgericht had asked JVA to prepare it gradually for release. For preparation of decision for a release Degowskis, Arnsberg chamber, among or things, brought in opinion of a renowned expert. In addition, Degowski was personally consulted.
