Overview
- The Frankfurt (Oder) prosecutor discontinued the investigation on November 11, five months after the June assault on the 'Bad Freienwalde bleibt bunt' event.
- No suspects remain after the sole identified person, a 21-year-old allegedly linked to the small far-right party III. Weg, was cleared for insufficient evidence.
- A search of the man's home and analyses of his phone and cell-site data produced no findings, and an eyewitness identification based on eyes and build was deemed inadequate.
- State security had investigated an attack by an estimated 10 to 15 partly masked assailants who used blunt objects, injured participants and fled the marketplace.
- Victim-support advocates questioned whether all investigative avenues were pursued and warned the unresolved case could encourage further extremist violence.
