Hamburg (dpa / lno) - There is another suspected case of right-wing extremism at the Hamburg fire brigade.

The Department of Internal Investigations (DIE) is investigating an employee of the Hamburg professional fire brigade on suspicion of incitement to hatred and the use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations, the fire brigade announced on Wednesday in Hamburg.

The investigation was preceded by an anonymous complaint with a reference to pictures in a messenger chat, which the Hamburg police had received from the Central Information Office on the right (ZHA-R).

After a search, the DIE investigations continued.

At the beginning of April, two suspected cases of right-wing extremism became known in the Hamburg fire brigade.

“Right-wing extremism has no place in the Hamburg fire brigade.

We will not accept or tolerate any form of discrimination, ”said fire brigade chief Christian Schwarz.

"We are all called upon not only not to look the other way, but to intervene actively, should there be any border crossings by individuals with other members of the Hamburg fire brigade or third parties."

This applies to personal attacks and also to attacks in social media or messenger groups.
