Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - After the arrest of the alleged author of the “NSU 2.0” threatening letter, the investigations are by no means concluded, according to the Frankfurt public prosecutor's office.
"There are other unanswered questions," emphasized Albrecht Schreiber, the head of the authority, on Wednesday when presenting the previous findings.
It is particularly about the question of how the 53-year-old man from Berlin who was arrested on Monday evening got the data with the addresses of his victims.
Whether he may have had helpers or accomplices must also be investigated: "We are not finished."
According to the “current state of knowledge”, nothing indicates the involvement of police officers in the threatening letters, said Hanspeter Mener, who had taken over the investigation as a special investigator last year. How the man, who had been unemployed for several years and claims to have had an IT training course, got to the address of the recipient of the threatening letters remains to be clarified. The hypothesis is based on successful "social engineering" of the suspect, who could have successfully pretended to be a police officer or official.
The Frankfurt lawyer Seda Basay-Yildiz had received death threats against herself and her family in August 2018.
The letter was signed "NSU 2.0".
In the trial against the right-wing extremist terrorist cell NSU, the lawyer represented relatives of victims of the series of murders as an accessory prosecutor.
Threats were later also sent to other politicians in public life.
