Attack Claimed by Antifa Targets Home of EIB Vice President Nicola Beer in Frankfurt

Police state security is investigating after a posted statement cast the vandalism as solidarity with a detainee in Hungary.

Overview

  • The house façade was sprayed with purple paint and Jürgen Illing’s BMW was heavily damaged, including slashed tires, a smashed window, and fire-extinguisher residue inside.
  • A claim of responsibility on Indymedia cited support for the detained activist known as Maja T. and declared "Freiheit für alle Antifas."
  • Frankfurt’s state security division is probing the case on suspicion of politically motivated property damage, and no arrests have been reported.
  • Nicola Beer, a former FDP official who became a vice-president of the European Investment Bank in January 2024, and Illing have not commented to avoid affecting the investigation.
  • The authors of the statement said the action primarily targeted Illing, Hungary’s honorary consul, branding the couple "Orban-Versteher" and part of a "right elite."
