In the case of the presumed right-wing extremist network within the Frankfurt police, the Hesse State Criminal Police Office (LKA) has taken over the investigation. For this purpose, a working group was specially convened to clarify the allegations, as reported by the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung".
The investigation of five Frankfurt police officers, which became known at the beginning of the week, goes back to a threatening letter to the lawyer Seda Basay-Yildiz, as the "Frankfurter Neue Presse" (FNP) reported on the weekend. In this threatening letter also the private address of the lawyer was called.
State security investigators then discovered that a service computer in the first police station in Frankfurt had retrieved the registration records of Basay-Yildiz. The Frankfurt attorney acted as co-plaintiff in the NSU trial.
On Saturday it had become public that the investigators had only become aware of the threat of their colleagues' network. The Wiesbadener authority had learned according to own data from the press of the case.
Lawyer received no information from authority
Now the defense lawyer herself has made massive criticisms of the police. She has just learned that the trail leads into the police itself, "after the case has been reported in the press, says Basay-Yildiz the" FAZ "." I wish the police had informed me before. "
According to the report, the lawyer had since August, when the threatening letter arrived by fax with her, repeatedly asked the police, whether there are new findings. It was also about getting an idea of whether her family needs to be protected, she said. The authority has given her but no comprehensive information.
On August 2, the lawyer said that she received a threatening letter signed "NSU 2.0," the PNP wrote. In the letter it says: "Miese Türkensau You do not finish Germany Piss off, as long as you get out alive here, you pig! In retaliation, we slaughter your daughter."
The five now suspended officials is accused of regularly having outlawed right-wing extremist content on their mobile phones. It should be four men and one woman.
