Places in the available evidence
Investigation or court: Germany
Basis: explicit
Scope: article
Reason: Own headline explicitly frames the reported prison sentence under Germany. Article scope retains an unnamed court and no victim residence, offender nationality or operation location. Original authored limit: Source's literal country-framed sentence headline only, pending ROOT final role validation. No named court, victim residence or offender operation inferred.
Unlisted locations remain unknown. Nationality, language and web address alone do not establish where a scam happened.

reason
Sparse headline supports an imposed eight-year term at article scope; no named defendant, case identity, service duration or date is supplied.
Unchanged authored type/stage/scope: {"original_type":"sentence","original_stage":"imposed","original_scope":"reported_proceeding"}
Unchanged interpretation: Headline reports eight-year imprisonment term; not served time, finality, a named defendant or absolute judgment date.
Whole attached limits: Description is publisher boilerplate, not substantive evidence for extra facts. No500k loss, four victims, accomplices, identity/case union, technical sequence or year imported from other reports. Unspecified high damage is not an exact paid-loss amount.
These labels describe the available reporting. “Not reported” does not mean a harm did not happen. A theme's stage applies to that statement, not every claim in the article.

Connected reporting
Only direct reviewed connections are shown. Shared wording is weaker evidence than a supported case connection. A connection through a third article does not establish that two reports concern the same case.
No direct connection is recorded. This does not establish that the story is unique.
A page can change after it first appears. Observation dates record when its URL was seen; they do not prove that the wording assessed here was present on every date.
