Munich (AP) - The Vice President of the Bavarian State Parliament and former TV judge Alexander Hold (Free Voters) returns to the screen.
On February 3rd, the special-interest broadcaster TLC is slated to start its new true crime program “Grave Secrets - Dead witnesses don't lie” about real criminal cases.
"It is an exciting format that is very successful in the US," said Hold of the German press agency in Munich on Monday.
"Such puzzling criminal cases, in which the investigator initially gets stuck, they already exert a fascination."
TLC broadcasts reality formats and documentaries and is primarily aimed at women as a target group.
"Judge Alexander Hold" wrote commercial television history as one of the pioneers of daily court shows in the early 2000s.
Before that he worked as a public prosecutor specializing in organized crime and then as a judge in Kempten im Allgäu.
In 2017, the Free Voters presented him as a hopeless candidate for the election of the Federal President, and since 2018 he has been a member of the state parliament and third vice president.
"When you're in politics, you don't just give your previous professional experience to the cloakroom," said Hold.
"It's nice when you can ventilate there in between."

"Grave Secrets" is about real murder cases shown from the perspective of the investigators.
"They're usually about secrets from the victim's life that aren't so easy to come across," said Hold.
