Seda Basay-Yildiz's lawyer expressed her conviction in the "NSU 2.0" process that the computer in the 1st police station in Frankfurt, from which comprehensive data on her and her family had been interrogated was manipulated.

On the previous day of the trial, the subject had already been that a good month after the data query, when the station was searched and police officers were questioned, the computer could no longer be booted by an officer registered for the night shift.

This could not be a coincidence, said the co-plaintiff representative on Thursday.

Someone must have tampered with the software.

This is also possible without deep IT knowledge.

The attorney requested further witnesses to be heard in order to clarify the facts.

She also stated that, from her point of view, it was refuted that the accused Alexander M. initiated the data query by calling the station and pretending to be a police officer.

A synopsis of the collection of evidence so far shows that a query that police officers from the infirmary had described as extremely unusual, despite all the doubts as to the accuracy of the officers, would not have been made there without a password having been asked beforehand or the query in a Excel list would have been noted.

The lawyer also said that she assumed that the police officer Johannes S.'s radio vehicle order form, which she believes to be the interrogator of the data and the sender of the first threatening letter, was intentionally filled out incorrectly by his colleague in order to prove that S couldn't have done.

She also requested further evidence.

Lost trust in the police and the judiciary

In the afternoon, cabaret artist Idil Baydar described how traumatizing the threatening letters were. He was threatened by SMS and e-mail, among other things, that she and her mother would be shot down “like in New Zealand”.

Baydar repeatedly described in a loud, emotional voice that the letters had been "hell" for her and her parents.

Her life is no longer what it was before, she had to take security measures, had episodes of depression, felt constantly threatened and, above all, had lost trust in the police and the judiciary.

As a "migrantized person" you are in the focus anyway, now they are not properly investigated and police officers are spared.

In this context, Baydar mentioned the NSU, the assassination attempt in Hanau and other racist attacks in Germany.

"Do you actually know what it triggers in you when you are the target?",

In addition, on Thursday an LKA officer described in detail how the mail account of the Russian provider Yandex, which the writer of the threatening letter had used, was evaluated.

Accordingly, on December 19, 2018 - months after the first letter to Basay-Yildiz - he registered with a Turkish-sounding name as "tuerkensau@yandex.com".

Less than half an hour later he sent the first threatening letter from the account to the lawyer Mehmet Daimaguler.

He only used the mailbox via the Tor browser.

The officer also said that there had been contacts by the police, but she had no clearance to testify about this "tactical communication".
