Overview

• Ministerpräsident Boris Rhein and Staatskanzlei chief Benedikt Kuhn testified on May 9, revealing internal disagreements over the wording of the press release announcing Messari-Becker's dismissal.
• The Staatskanzlei had advised against citing 'nicht hinnehmbares Fehlverhalten' in the dismissal, suggesting a lack of trust would have sufficed legally.
• Andrea M., a retired Darmstadt building authority head, testified that Messari-Becker contacted her twice, citing her public position to question a neighbor's rooftop terrace approval.
• Paul Wandrey, a Darmstadt official, described Messari-Becker's actions as 'relatively improper' and reported the incidents to local and state authorities.
• Messari-Becker continues to deny all allegations, calling them defamatory and maintaining her innocence through legal representation.
