Yvonne Kussmann reported on the murder of 24-year-old CDU young politician Christoph R. in January 2025, stating that Mamadou Alpha B. cut his throat and then burned his body. The crime was committed nine days before the expiration of his residence permit. In the trial, Mamadou Alpha B. was deemed unaccountable due to paranoid schizophrenia, and his placement in a forensic psychiatric institution was ordered. Kussmann questioned the verdict. In her opinion, the man's behavior could also be explained by the rites and beliefs of the strictly Islamic Fulla ethnic group to which he belongs. She wrote that the illness had never been diagnosed before the crime. Kussmann noted that the Cottbus Administrative Court had already dismissed Mamadou Alpha B.'s lawsuit against the rejection of his asylum application in July 2021. According to her, the reasoning of the judgment reveals that he provided different dates of birth in his asylum application in Italy and lied during a hearing at the BAMF. Kussmann stated that this had no impact on his stay in Germany. She wrote that the perpetrator should not have been in Germany anymore and mentioned that she had revised her research text on the case. Furthermore, Kussmann requested support for her portal Aktuell Informiert. She wrote that expenses currently exceeded revenues. Donations were intended to facilitate research, court visits, on-site appointments, technical expenses, and the expansion of the portal. https://t.co/0RvVD8whhG #Politik #Asyl #Rechtssystem (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported, citing the spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg, that the 27-year-old Afghan entered Germany in December 2015 and applied for asylum. The BAMF rejected the application in January 2018 and threatened deportation to Afghanistan. A lawsuit by the man was dismissed by the administrative court in July 2021. Since then, he has been subject to enforceable deportation. Because deportations to Afghanistan were suspended from August 2021, he initially remained in Germany. After the federal government, under Interior Minister Dobrindt, organized regular deportations to Afghanistan again and obtained replacement documents more frequently, the government presidency of Karlsruhe initiated a passport procurement procedure for the man. His identity had been unclear until then. In early October, the local regulatory office delivered him a letter asking him to report to the General Consulate of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in mid-October. This did not happen. It is still unclear whether this is related to the incident in the Tuttlingen town hall, where the man appeared with a firearm and was shot by police officers after allegedly firing at them first, Kussmann wrote. According to Kussmann, the man had been convicted in Germany of bodily harm, trespassing, property damage, theft, and threats, resulting in fines. From October 2025 to April 2026, he served a substitute prison sentence. He was not registered with the special unit for dangerous foreigners in Baden-Württemberg. #Tuttlingen #Asylrecht #InnereSicherheit (translated)

RobynHD criticized that the Bundestag had rejected two motions to abolish the tax-free Bitcoin holding period the day before. The Greens had called for cryptocurrency gains to be taxed at the personal income tax rate, regardless of the holding period. A total of 132 representatives voted in favor, while 445 voted against. A motion from the Left Party had also failed. This proposed, among other things, taxation akin to stocks, an exit tax, and a EU-wide trading ban for certain proof-of-work coins. The CDU/CSU, SPD, and AfD rejected the proposals. However, the vote does not mean that the abolition is off the table, RobynHD wrote. The SPD-led Ministry of Finance is working on a reform that is also supposed to end the one-year holding period. Bitcoin purchased from 2027 onwards should be taxed at a basic rate of 26.375 percent; existing holdings would be protected. The cabinet is expected to address the proposal on October 14. RobynHD acknowledged that other legislative proposals had been up for decision during the vote. Nonetheless, from the author's perspective, it is alarming that work continues on the abolition despite the clear rejection. The Union could still prevent the reform, but RobynHD has little hope. #Bitcoin #Krypto #Steuern (translated)

Blocktrainer wrote that the Bundestag rejected proposals from the Greens and the Left for the abolition of the Bitcoin holding period. The account also asked what this meant for the planned change to the crypto tax by Lars Klingbeil and how the CDU/CSU parliamentary group positioned itself on this matter. https://t.co/xusi31NQeD #Krypto #Bitcoin #Bundestag (translated)

Blocktrainer wrote that the Bundestag rejected both a draft law from the Greens and a proposal from the Left to abolish the Bitcoin holding period. The Greens had proposed to tax crypto gains as income regardless of the holding period. The Left called for the taxation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like stocks, as well as subjection to exit taxation. According to Blocktrainer, the draft law from the Greens had already failed in the Finance Committee in May and is now definitively off the table. #Bitcoin #Kryptowährungen #Bundestag (translated)

The author of the article wrote that the application demands, among other things, an "immediate ceasefire." This is the position of the federal government, which Merz last represented on October 4, the EU, as well as an offer from Ukraine that has existed since January 2026. Russia rejects this, he added. https://t.co/ToG36nVbWh #Waffenstillstand #Frieden #Ukraine #DE #EU #UA #RU (translated)

The X-Account Autumn Princess wrote that Voigt had withdrawn his lawsuit after the TU Chemnitz revoked his PhD in January and rejected his appeal in July. The account asked why Voigt still held office and criticized that he did not await the court ruling. As a possible justification, the account mentioned time, energy, the citizens, and the country, but assessed the withdrawal of the lawsuit as an attempt to quietly end a hopeless matter. Referring to Voigt's 2008 dissertation on "Bush vs. Kerry," the account demanded that he should have given up both his title and his office. The post was marked as satire. #Politik #Doktorarbeit #Chemnitz (translated)

Frieda Melzen from Dellstedt in the district of Dithmarschen had a radio repaired in 1944, which her brother had received. She heard news about the war situation via foreign radio stations and told the villagers about it the next day, after which she was denounced. The People's Court sentenced her to death for undermining military morale; her plea for clemency was rejected. On October 6, 1944, Melzen, who was the mother of three children and 31 years old, was executed in Plötzensee. #WirVergessenNicht #SayHerName #WWII #FriedaMelzen #Gedenkenswürdig (translated)
