Overview

• The Central Criminal Investigation Department is investigating suspected public incitement to commit crimes and threats.
• Police said the case is based on stickers discovered in public areas of Hannover depicting Alice Weidel.
• According to the AfD city council group, the stickers show Weidel under a large crosshair with the phrase “Aim here” and a Linksjugend logo, though authorship has not been established.
• The public prosecutor’s office will make the formal legal assessment of any offenses identified during the inquiry.
• AfD legislator Stephan Bothe called for searches, interrogations, and possible arrests, referencing earlier incendiary Instagram posts linked to local Linksjugend accounts that were later deleted.
