Overview
- The investigation stemmed from a private complaint forwarded by the Krefeld prosecutor to Berlin, where it arrived in mid-May under the legalitätsprinzip.
- Prosecutors reviewed Reichelt’s April 1 post on X predicting the police would be infiltrated and later dominated by officers with migration backgrounds, which referenced a Bild report about two federal police officers tied to alleged drug deals.
- Authorities concluded the initial suspicion was not substantiated and formally discontinued the case on October 30.
- The Berlin prosecutor’s office noted that more than 30 prior proceedings related to possible incitement involving Reichelt had been closed or not pursued for lack of an initial suspicion.
- A separate preliminary review concerning a mid-September Nius article about so-called “Trans-Terror” remains open to determine whether an initial suspicion exists.
