Brueckner Seeks Police Protection Ahead of Sept. 17 Release After Ex-Agent Paid His Fine

Prosecutors say the evidence remains short of an indictment, prompting scrutiny of the ex-agent who cleared his court debt.

Overview

  • Brueckner’s lawyer says he will be released from Sehnde prison on September 17 and that neither an early release nor a transfer is planned.
  • The defense has asked Lower Saxony’s justice authorities for safety measures and has been in contact with police to arrange protection on release.
  • Former BKA officer Rebecca K identified herself as the person who paid his £1,300 fine and acknowledged sharing case information with his lawyers, with the BKA reviewing her actions.
  • Chief prosecutor Hans‑Christian Wolters reiterates investigators have evidence pointing to Brueckner but not enough to justify an arrest warrant or indictment.
  • Defense lawyer Friedrich Fuelscher says he does not expect any indictment and argues his client should resume a normal life, as observers warn of flight risk and discuss potential post‑release monitoring.
