Overview

• Prosecutors say Liebich failed to report to JVA Chemnitz on August 29 and remains wanted under a nationwide arrest warrant.
• Justice Minister Franziska Weidinger informed a confidential state legal committee that a written submission described as a clemency request indicated Liebich would not appear.
• According to lawmakers, the letter reached the public prosecutor’s office only days after the scheduled intake, and Weidinger called the matter an office error.
• The authenticity of the document has not been established, and the Justice Ministry cites legal confidentiality while preparing a written communication to the committee chair.
• Liebich is serving an 18‑month final sentence from a 2023 conviction for incitement, defamation and insult, and earlier this year legally changed name and registered gender under the Self‑Determination Act.
