Overview

• Recent hearings in the Solingen arson trial revealed additional Nazi-related materials, raising questions about the defendant's motives and investigative transparency.
• Lawyer Seda Başay-Yıldız filed complaints against police, alleging they withheld evidence pointing to a potential right-wing extremist motive for the attack.
• The defense argues that the Nazi-related materials belong to others, including the defendant's girlfriend and father, and not the defendant himself.
• The arson attack, which killed a Bulgarian family of four in March 2024, was initially attributed to a landlord dispute, as confessed by the defendant.
• The court has scheduled additional hearings through mid-April 2025 to address the new evidence and its implications for the case.
