Overview

• Unidentified vandals spray-painted the word “Mörder” in green and silver on two toilet cabins at Munich’s Theresienwiese between June 27 and June 30 during Oktoberfest preparations.
• Polizeipräsident Thomas Hampel condemned the defamation as “totally unacceptable,” emphasizing that officers operate under often life-threatening conditions to protect citizens.
• Kommissariat 43 is leading the initial probe, with the State Security Service now taking over parts of the investigation to assess potential extremist motives and links to previous incidents.
• Authorities estimate several hundred euros in damages and have urged anyone with relevant information to contact Kommissariat 43 at the Munich police headquarters.
• Investigators are examining parallels to similar anti-police slogans found on a Sendling high-rise two weeks earlier to determine if both acts are connected.
