Overview
- The Berlin public prosecutor’s office confirmed an ongoing investigation into suspected Volksverhetzung linked to Reichelt’s April 1 X post.
- In the post, he warned of the “undercover infiltration and takeover” of police and said city forces would be “Arab dominated” within a decade, citing a tabloid report about two federal officers.
- Prosecutors received the matter via a private complaint forwarded from Krefeld under the legal duty to examine alleged offenses.
- Reichelt denies criminal intent, points to his reporting and a ZDF documentary on clan influence in law enforcement, and calls the proceedings absurd and intimidating.
- No house search has been reported as the probe continues, and Die Welt first disclosed the investigation; Reichelt’s lawyer Joachim Steinhöfel also confirmed the case.
