Overview

• Beate Zschäpe, convicted NSU terrorist, has entered an undisclosed Neonazi exit program and attended multiple sessions, attorney Mathias Grasel says.
• Details of the program remain secret under confidentiality obligations agreed with Zschäpe and its operators.
• Her admission comes nearly two years after Saxony’s exit program rejected her application in 2023.
• Legal experts note that participation may count as a positive factor when her minimum-term review arrives in November 2026.
• NSU victims’ ombudswoman Barbara John calls Zschäpe’s motives tactical and demands victims be heard in any parole decision.
