Erfurt (dpa / th) - According to plans by the Left, SPD and Greens, a new committee of inquiry is to take a closer look at mafia investigations about 20 years ago.
The appointment of the committee is to be decided at the plenary session of the Thuringian state parliament on Friday (start: 9 a.m.).
The investigation committee is supposed to deal with the background of the stopped investigation with the code name "Fido" against the Italian mafia in Thuringia about twenty years ago.
According to research by the MDR and the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung”, an undercover agent was on duty at the time who is said to have succeeded in infiltrating the Italian groups.
Nevertheless, the investigations were then stopped against the will of the police officers involved in the operation.
According to the Thuringian state constitution, committees of inquiry must be set up if at least one fifth of the members of the state parliament request this.
There are currently 90 seats in parliament, 42 of which belong to red-red-green.
