Overview
- Susann Eminger, 44, went before the Dresden Higher Regional Court on charges of supporting a domestic terrorist organization and aiding a particularly serious robber‑extortion.
- Prosecutors allege she lent Beate Zschäpe her health insurance card several times, provided personal data for discounted rail cards, and drove Zschäpe and Uwe Böhnhardt to collect a motorhome later used in the 2011 Eisenach robbery.
- Eminger declined to comment at the opening; the court set roughly 43–44 hearing days through June 2026 and summoned Zschäpe to testify on December 3–4 and again in late January.
- The case proceeds after the Federal Court of Justice in April 2025 overturned a prior Dresden decision that had limited the indictment, finding sufficient suspicion of NSU support.
- Prosecutors say parts of their case rely on Zschäpe’s earlier BKA statements, and the court moved on Friday to witness testimony starting with a federal investigator, as demonstrators outside called for fuller accountability.
