Overview

  • Former police official Walter Veicht testified that a search of Taleb A.’s Stralsund apartment uncovered stimulants and painkillers, including the opioid Tramadol.
  • He characterized the medication mix as a “hellish mixture,” suggesting long‑term use that predated the December 2024 attack.
  • Investigators reported finding pornographic material on the attacker’s laptop during the search.
  • No indications of bomb‑making were detected in the apartment, according to the parliamentary testimony.
  • The attack on the Magdeburg Christmas market killed six people and injured more than 300; investigations are complete, no trial date is set, and reporting indicates proceedings could begin in the autumn.
