Essen / Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - The controversial chat groups at the Essen / Mülheim an der Ruhr police were not extremist according to the findings of the responsible police chief Frank Richter.

Richter wrote in a letter to the North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of the Interior that the report from the special inspection of his house before him emerges.

The report was also "clearly evident that there was no (right-wing) extremist network within my authority," said Richter in the letter that the German Press Agency has received.

According to information from the dpa, the report is actually practically finished.

Richter apparently has the final draft.

The Interior Ministry did not want to comment on this.

Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) had announced the special inspection last September after chat groups within the police had been uncovered for the first time, in which incitatory content was shared in some cases.

The reason for the letter from Richter, about which the «WAZ» had previously reported, is the current issue of the employee magazine of the NRW police.

According to the front page, the "patrol" focuses on "right-wing extremism in the NRW police force".

Richter complained to the Interior Ministry that he had not been informed about the content beforehand.

The front page is suitable for “associating” a “right-wing extremist scandal” with his presidium.

At the end of his letter, Richter demanded that the issue should only be published after the results of the special inspection were published.

By then, however, the magazine was already being delivered or published on the Internet.
