Overview

• Taleb A. remains in pretrial detention on six counts of murder and 329 counts of attempted murder after driving into the Magdeburg Christmas market in December.
• A landlord-hired clearance firm discovered a laptop, iPod, memory card, USB stick and papers in the Bernburg apartment when sealing was lifted in June.
• Generalstaatsanwaltschaft Naumburg will apply for a judicial seizure to allow forensic analysis of the data carriers by the Landeskriminalamt.
• Investigators will assess whether the devices were overlooked during the initial December search or introduced subsequently by third parties.
• Findings from the forensic review could change the content or timing of the final indictment and delay the summer trial preparations.
