More than twelve years after the right-wing extremist terrorist group “National Socialist Underground” (NSU) was exposed, the federal prosecutor’s office has brought charges against another alleged helper.

The investigators accuse Susann E. of supporting a terrorist organization and aiding and abetting serious predatory blackmail.

According to new findings from the Federal Prosecutor's Office, 42-year-old Susann E. is said to have helped the two NSU terrorists Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt in their last robbery at a savings bank in Eisenach in November 2011.

Accordingly, she is said to have previously driven the neo-Nazis to Schreiersgrün near Zwickau to rent a mobile home, which the two used for the bank robbery.

Before the police could arrest them, the terrorists killed themselves in the mobile home.

The federal prosecutor's office also accuses Susann E. of supporting the NSU by giving the terrorist Beate Zschäpe her health insurance card on several occasions.

With this, Zschäpe was able to go to the doctor undetected.

Zschäpe also used a rail card in the name of Susann E.

The Karlsruhe prosecutors assume that Susann E. knew since 2007 at the latest that the NSU terrorists lived underground and committed racist murders and robberies.

Close friends of the terrorist trio

Susann E. and her husband André E. were close friends for years with the terrorist trio Zschäpe, Mundlos and Böhnhardt, who recently went into hiding in Zwickau.

André E. was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in the 2018 NSU trial.

He was acquitted of the charge of aiding and abetting attempted murder and aiding and abetting robbery.

Since the trial, six of nine cases against other possible helpers have been dropped.

In the case of Susann E., the investigation continued - and has now led to charges before the Dresden Higher Regional Court.

She was not arrested.

Susann E.'s defense attorney could not initially be reached for comment.
