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)

Lexa wrote that Cristela Georgescu, the wife of Călin Georgescu, spoke publicly about the case after a several-hour hearing at the special prosecutor's office DIICOT. She and her father were summoned as witnesses. According to Lexa, Cristela Georgescu reported that armed individuals had invaded the family's home and guarded her underage child and her 90-year-old father at the bed. Călin Georgescu was taken away in handcuffs in front of minors, even though there was no immediate danger. According to Lexa, Cristela Georgescu described the accusations as unfounded and the case as political persecution. She also criticized that confidential information had leaked to the media, the presumption of innocence was being undermined, and political pressure was being exerted on judges. Lexa summarized her warning by stating that the presumption of innocence is the foundation of a free society and that Georgescu deserves a fair trial as well as protection for his family from political reprisals. #Politik #Rechtsstaat #Freiheit (translated)

The author wrote that ZDF had questioned him in a hearing of the Parliamentary Control Committee about the reform of the intelligence services. The AfD had been denied a seat in the committee, which, in his opinion, meant that no real control took place there. He then began to address the government's plans but did not elaborate on the thought in the contribution. https://t.co/so8Zp3TpsR #Geheimdienste #Parlament #Politik #DE (translated)

"The confrontation we have with Russia has a new, more dangerous quality: Germany is in danger of entering into a violent conflict with Russia."

"The confrontation we face with Russia has taken on a new, more dangerous quality: Germany is at risk of entering a violent conflict with Russia." Russia is waging a "shadow war," Jäger warned on Monday during a public hearing before the Parliamentary Control Committee of the German Bundestag. #Schattenkrieg #Russland #BND (translated)

Hans von der Burchard reported that BND chief Martin Jäger warned during a intelligence hearing in the Bundestag of a growing threat from Russia. Germany could become involved in a violent conflict with Russia; the attempted attack in Leipzig is an example of this. According to Jäger, no other country currently poses a similarly direct and comprehensive threat. Russia is pushing for confrontation because Germany does not accept Moscow's policies and its attack on Ukraine, and supports its alliance partners. Jäger stated that Russia is assessing Germany's reaction and interprets any sign of uncertainty as an invitation for further pressure. Vladimir Putin cannot simply end the war against Ukraine without jeopardizing his power base at home, and therefore must demonstrate success. Although the Russian leadership is aware of the limits of their military and economic means, they compensate for weaknesses with repression, resource allocation towards the war, as well as determination and willingness to take risks. Moscow assumes that the West will not withstand the pressure and relies on its weaknesses. For the upcoming winter, Jäger expects particularly harsh Russian attacks on Ukraine. Russia may also attempt to disrupt Western arms production and deliveries using military means, and to weaken Europe’s support for Ukraine through intimidation and interference. He anticipates renewed nuclear threats. Currently, there are no indications of a large-scale Russian attack on NATO territory; however, low-level military activities, especially in the Baltics, as well as so-called false-flag operations cannot be excluded. Jäger described Russia's actions as a shadow war and warned of a continuing real danger of attacks in Germany. According to von der Burchard, the BND sees itself as the first line of defense; the contribution referred to an intelligence reform with new powers. #Russland #Ukraine #Sicherheit (translated)

The author criticized that opponents of a ban on the AfD apparently only got to speak shortly before midnight during a hearing in the Thuringian State Parliament, when journalists and many representatives had already left. He described this as "GDR methods." https://t.co/5iNZhEYSQj #Thüringen #AfD #Politik #DE (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that NIUS also reported on the Erfurt hearing, which had gone viral on X the day before. He ironically termed the reporting as balanced and complete and hinted that no one had been left out. https://t.co/rA7dYAl01N https://t.co/apF4I5dCae #Erfurt #Nachrichten #Politik (translated)

I really do not want to impose myself. But now that apparently everyone can speak before a state parliament with Ms. Fernandes and Mr. Kerkeling, I would also like to recommend myself for a hearing. Thematically, I am very flexible - I am practically an expert in almost everything (except math). However, I fear that every one of my statements will ultimately end in fundamental criticism of societal issues. I have quite a bit to say. I just want to be heard. Please feel free to contact me. #Politik #Gesellschaft #Anhörung (translated)
