Overview
- The court dismissed the parents' Klageerzwingungsverfahren as inadmissible and stated the ruling cannot be appealed.
- The bid sought probes of Arena Bar operators, unnamed police officers, and Hanau city employees over a locked emergency exit during the attack.
- The application also targeted former Hesse interior minister Peter Beuth and senior police officials for alleged shortcomings in the emergency-call system.
- The OLG found no errors in prior prosecutorial work and said the parents did not show that an open exit or better equipment would have prevented the death.
- The decision, recorded under case number 7 Ws 71-75/25, follows the 2020 racist attack in Hanau in which a 43-year-old killed nine people before killing his mother and himself.
