In a series of e-mails with right-wing threats of violence, police and prosecutors have identified a suspect. On Thursday, therefore, an apartment was searched in Schleswig-Holstein, as police and Attorney General Berlin announced. In addition, evidence was confiscated. To the identity of the suspect, the investigators made no statements.
There is a suspicion that the accused could be the author of various threatening letters to courts and other bodies such as railway stations in Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Baden-Württemberg and Brandenburg. In the series started a year ago, there were also threats of bomb attacks on courts. Among other things, the mails were signed with "National Socialist Offensive".
According to the information, more than 200 threatening letters are now part of the central investigation complex in Berlin. The letters were also addressed to politicians, lawyers, journalists or the Central Council of Jews. It should now be determined for which of the threatening letters the suspect could be responsible.
In March, for example, Lübeck central station and the Gelsenkirchen tax office were evacuated as a precautionary measure. The Hamburg police briefly closed several streets. Previously, there had been bomb threats in Frankfurt am Main against the Higher Regional Court and the prosecutor. Whether all the threats of the past months are related to the current investigation complex is unclear.
