The blocked address of the Frankfurt lawyer Seda Basay-Yildiz, who was threatened with the "NSU 2.0" letters, was apparently accessible to more people than previously known.

An employee discovered the lawyer’s new address in the police files of the Lübcke investigation committee, said the left’s domestic policy spokesman in the Hessian state parliament, Hermann Schaus, on Tuesday.

In a letter to the committee chairman Christian Heinz (CDU) as well as to Interior Minister Peter Beuth and State Chancellor Axel Wintermeyer (both CDU), he asked for the accessibility of personal and protected data to be rectified as quickly as possible.

Wintermeyer's reply had been forwarded to all parliamentary groups by broadcast.

Lack of sensitivity

The Frankfurter Rundschau had previously reported on it.

Basay-Yildiz reacted horrified to the incident, according to the newspaper report.

"This is not how you deal with blocked data," she was quoted in the article.

The lawyer could not initially be reached for a statement.

"This lack of sensitivity and the lack of awareness of the problem in dealing with the blocked address of Ms. Basay-Yildiz is irresponsible," said Schaus.

While the files of the investigative committee contained numerous blackouts, for example about so-called V-people of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, this standard was not applied to Basay-Yildiz and her family, even after the relevant information was given.

"It is irritating how many different departments within the police have access to both this blocked private address and the address of the daughter's kindergarten."

"In a direct threat situation"

The parliamentary manager of the SPD in the Hessian state parliament, Günter Rudolph, spoke of an “irresponsible process”.

"That will not do.

This is highly sensitive data, and Ms. Basay-Yildiz is in a direct threat, ”emphasized Rudolph.

The series of "NSU 2.0" threats began in summer 2018 with death threats against Basay-Yildiz, who had represented relatives of the victims of the right-wing extremist terrorist cell NSU as a co-prosecutor in the Munich NSU proceedings.

After it became known that the lawyer’s personal data had been accessed by a computer in a Frankfurt police station, the new address was blocked after moving.

But this address was also used in threatening letters.

The cabaret artist Idil Baydar and the left chairwoman Janine Wissler were among the addressees of the letters. In May, the alleged author of the letter was arrested in Berlin.
