Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - The Federal Chairwoman of the Left, Janine Wissler, does not consider the "NSU 2.0" case to be over.

“Of course it's a good thing that a suspect was arrested.

But for me this is just the beginning of the investigation, ”she told Hessischer Rundfunk (hr).

There is no reason to give the all-clear or to breathe a sigh of relief.

Wissler was one of those who had received threatening letters with the sender "NSU 2.0".

At the beginning of the week, a 53-year-old alleged author of the threatening letters was arrested in Berlin. According to the Frankfurt Public Prosecutor's Office and the Hessian State Criminal Police Office, the man is under urgent suspicion of "having sent a series of threatening letters nationwide with inciting, insulting and threatening content under the synonym" NSU 2.0 "since August 2018". The recipients were predominantly public figures, especially from the media world and politics, including members of the Hessian state parliament and the Bundestag.

Wissler said, among other things, it had to be clarified “how a 53-year-old unemployed person from Berlin could access data from police computers in three different federal states”.

“You don't just call them and say: Hello, I'm Sergeant Müller.

Can you give me the dates of this and that? "

The Hessian police could not breathe a sigh of relief because no police officers were involved.

"You can't even know that yet."

Wissler hopes that the arrest will not end the case.

“Because a lot of investigations against the law suffer from the fact that a lone perpetrator and the individual thesis are determined very early on.

Then you have caught one, and the rest will carry on happily. "
