yes but why?
does he have a public mugshot?
Police usually only provide mugshots when they need help from the public.
I believe this is a photo from him taken one day when he didn’t cover his face.

Privacy laws in Germany are very strict and generally also apply to criminals.

The legal situation
The general right to privacy includes the right to one's own image, which in turn partly includes the right to privacy. Regulations on the right to their own image can be found in §§ 22, 23 KUG [Art Copyright Law].According to § 22 KUG, portraits may in
principle only be distributed or publicly displayed
with the consent of the person depicted.
Exceptions to this principle can be found in § 23 KUG. After that, such an agreement is not required, among other things, when it comes to portraits from the field of contemporary history. Of course, politicians, business leaders or even the so-called stars and starlets are among this group of people. However, according to general opinion, these include offenders. Nevertheless, this is not a free ticket for press and co, because according to § 23 paragraph 2 KUG this may be opposed to a legitimate interest of the depicted.
When is there a legitimate interest of the depicted person?
A
balance must always be made between the personality rights of the person depicted and the public's interest in information, as an outflow of
press freedom . In such cases, however, the
case lawassumes more extensive privacy (see only the
judgment of the Frankfurt / Main Higher Regional Court dated 03.03.2006, ref .:
14 W 10/06 , to prohibit a film screening of the detailed private life of the "Kannibalen von Rotenburg" ). However, this judgment was revised by the
Federal Court of Justice [BGH] by judgment of 26.05.2009 (ref .: VI ZR 191/08), as it considered that the public's interest in information in this case preceded the general right of
personality .
The personality right of a "star and star" promo, on the other hand, is more limited than the personal right of a private individual who has become "prominent" through a "spectacular" case. Nevertheless, it should be noted that this restriction is not limitless. For example, the Bildzeitung was not even allowed to publish any photos from
remand detention even after the weather host Kachelmann had been convicted (see OLG
Cologne with judgment of the
Oberlandesgericht Köln , judgment of 15.11.2011, ref .:
15 U 62/11 ).
