In episode 201 we again focus on the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine.

We also talk about the new Russian censorship law and the rights that Ukrainian refugees have in Germany.

We talk to Marcus Jung about the difficult role of law firms that have established close contacts with Russian clients over the years.

Do you have to cut these connections now?

There is also movement in the long dispute between the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the AfD: the administrative court in Cologne ruled on Tuesday evening that the Office for the Protection of the Constitution can lead as a suspected case.

Helene Bubrowski reports on the procedure and the long overdue decision.

The administrative court in Cologne has also caused a stir in another respect: last week it declared the newly introduced reporting requirements in the network enforcement court to be contrary to European law.

The rule is intended to force Google, Facebook & Co to report criminal content and user data to the Federal Criminal Police Office, but nothing will come of it.

And finally, like every week, we choose the fair verdict of the week.
