Erfurt (dpa / th) - The Thuringian police are under internal investigations against an officer who is said to have photographed a hatred poster that later appeared on the Internet.
"The allegation of violation of official secrets is being examined," said a spokesman for the state police department on Thursday.
Several media had previously reported on it.
The poster is directed against the district administrator of the Unstrut-Hainich district, Harald Zanker (SPD).
According to the police, the photo of the poster was taken in the offices of the Unstrut-Hainich police station.
How it got onto the Internet is still being checked, said the spokesman.
The poster had previously been discovered and seized by police officers in Mühlhausen.
Depending on the outcome of the investigation, disciplinary proceedings against the police officer could also be opened, it said.
