Steffan Nethe referred to a statement by former police officer Jan Fischer in WELT, according to which many police officers hardly dared to defend themselves anymore. He asked why security forces were increasingly afraid to protect themselves and wrote that police officers were insulted, threatened, spat upon, and physically attacked. According to Nethe, the Federal Criminal Police Office registered around 46,400 violent crimes against police officers across the country in 2024. This corresponds to about 127 cases per day and an increase of around 38.5 percent compared to 2015. In physical assaults on law enforcement officers, around 35 percent of the suspects in 2024 were not German citizens. Nethe wrote that an attack on a police officer is also an attack on the rule of law. He called for better equipment, more personnel, and a consistent criminal prosecution of assaults on emergency personnel. In addition, police officers should receive support when acting lawfully. If the police ever felt they could no longer defend themselves, it would be a major problem, he wrote. #Polizei #Sicherheit #Rechtsstaat (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported, citing Bavarian Interior Minister Herrmann, that the suspect in the shooting case in Berngau was a hunter and sport shooter. He allegedly shot two employees of the district office at his home during a routine weapon check the day before. According to Kussmann, the 60-year-old German legally owned ten firearms and had not previously come to the attention of the police. There were also no findings about him in police files or with the state protection and constitutional protection agencies. Investigations into the incident, in which a 45-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman were killed, are ongoing. #Waffengewalt #Kriminalität #Sicherheit (translated)

A racist incident in Hall in Tyrol, where a severed pig's head was placed with the message Happy Ramadan, your monkeys, in front of an apartment door, led to widespread outrage, but the suspect was acquitted in district court because the authorities did not take the case seriously enough. #Rassismus #Tirol #Nachbarschaftsrecht (translated)

After months of investigation, the Federal Criminal Police Office and the LKA Burgenland have arrested two Slovak suspects in connection with a cross-border series of car thefts, mainly involving Volkswagen vehicles, responsible for 21 thefts and seven attempted thefts, causing a total damage of around 500,000 euros. #KfzDiebstahl #Oberösterreich #Volkswagen (translated)

After the Federal Prosecutor's Office announced yesterday that a Kuwait-born suspected IS fighter was arrested in Hesse and a Syrian suspected war criminal was arrested in Rhineland-Palatinate, I made a press inquiry. I wanted to know when the suspects entered Germany, whether they applied for asylum, and what residence status they had at and after entry as well as what they currently have. I also wanted to know whether the suspects had previously been known to the police for similar crimes or violent offenses or had a criminal record. Shortly after that, I received a call from a spokesperson for the Federal Prosecutor, who informed me that they did not want to provide any further information due to the protection of the suspects' personal rights. I took note of this and wrote a rebuttal, citing the necessary weighing between the public's interest in information and the specific, worthy interests of the affected suspects. I pointed out that my questions 1-3 exclusively concern the stay of the suspects in Germany, withdrew the fourth question (because one can argue here with the presumption of innocence and personal rights), and requested answers to questions 1-3. Lastly, I asked to at least name the year of entry and answer the question about the asylum application if more detailed responses are not possible. In case no response is given, I requested confirmation of the refusal to provide information as well as a concrete justification. I received the response earlier via email, see screenshot. They concluded, after weighing "all possible aspects," that the personal rights of a suspected IS fighter and a suspected war criminal, who is accused of executing three people with a close-range headshot, weigh more heavily than the legitimate public interest in knowing how long the suspects have been in Germany and whether they entered the country as asylum seekers. Well then. This does not correspond to my understanding of transparency. In this context, I would like to point out that you can also support my work. Any support helps to make research, court visits, on-site appointments, technical costs, and the further expansion of my portal Current Information possible. Unfortunately, at the moment, the costs are higher than the revenue. I would therefore be very pleased and grateful for any support.

Good morning everyone, on September 13, there was an alleged rape of a minor in the community accommodation in Kölleda (Thuringia). Yesterday, on September 30, the Erfurt police informed about this. So no, they actually didn't inform but merely clarified that there are speculations and false claims regarding the case in social media, which one should not participate in. For over two weeks, they did not consider it necessary to inform the public about the alleged sexual offense in a community accommodation involving a minor victim. Only after it was spread online did they feel compelled to say something while also stating that no information would be released about what happened. Therefore, one should not be surprised about rumors, speculations, and subsequent false claims. This handling is typical, as looking at the press releases after entering the relevant search terms in the police reports from 2025, just over 100 reports appear. However, according to the PKS, there were actually 14,454 cases of rapes, sexual coercions, and sexual assaults in particularly serious cases last year. The public is thus informed only about a fraction of the crimes. I inquired why the public is only being informed now, after rumors have spread. I also asked whether the suspect and victim are residents of the accommodation, how old the suspect and the victim are, what nationalities they have, and if the suspect has had previous police records for similar offenses or violent crimes. If I receive a response, I will report back. Most likely, as the police report reads, they will often refer to personal rights and want to deny the answer. #Vergewaltigung #Kriminalität #Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (translated)

Today, a second September 11 was possibly averted by a hair's breadth. On the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv in the morning, passengers heard screams, then saw blood under the cockpit door. The co-pilot allegedly attacked the captain with a pocket knife to take control. The Israeli government suspects a planned terrorist attack. The Boeing of the airline Flydubai fell from about 9,000 meters in a plunge - 4,500 meters in one minute. A code for a hijacking was sent out from the cabin. A crew member and passengers tackled the violent man and subdued him. The landing was safely accomplished. The suspect co-pilot is said to be from Oman and has only been with the airline for a few months. According to the rules, he should not have been allowed in the cockpit on this route: Oman has no diplomatic relations with Israel. A senior official told Israeli Channel 12 that someone had tried to "carry out an attack like on September 11 – either to hijack the plane or to bring it down." The plane did not land in Tel Aviv, but heavily damaged in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The fact that the 174 passengers reached the ground alive is also due to the people on board who had the unimaginable courage to rush at an armed man in the midst of the descent. #Terrorismus #Luftfahrt #Sicherheit (translated)

This is the Old Country Road in Sankt Georgen in the Black Forest. A 19-year-old woman was walking on this sidewalk on Monday afternoon around 5:30 PM. A 23-year-old Syrian then suddenly attacked her from behind and hit her with his fist so hard on the back of the head that the young woman fell to the ground. Fortunately, several passersby came to the 19-year-old's aid, causing the attacker to flee. He was quickly found during the immediate search. He was admitted to a psychiatric clinic. I have inquired with the police in Konstanz about the circumstances under which the 23-year-old was admitted to a psychiatric clinic, whether he has already come to the attention of the police for violent crimes, and whether he is still in the clinic or has already been released. The response came earlier. Due to the assumption that there is a danger to others, the suspect was taken to the clinic. The police were already aware of the Syrian from the past, but not only for bodily injury offenses. The police do not know if the suspect is still in the clinic. I would like to point out again that Chancellor Merz promised before the elections to permanently remove such offenders from the streets by placing them in indefinite detention for deportation. That was a lie. Therefore, the police have little recourse against these offenders, other than a few hours of detention or a few days in a clinic, to protect the public from them. Such an attack against random victims in public space is unfortunately usually not enough to issue a detention order. The 23-year-old will soon be running free among us again. #Schwarzwald #Gewalt #Sicherheit (translated)

A dispute between two youth groups escalates in Berlin: A 13-year-old is said to have stabbed an 18-year-old with a knife. However, the suspect cannot be prosecuted due to his age. Acts of violence by children and adolescents have reached a concerning level. Therefore, we demand that the age of criminal responsibility be lowered from 14 to 12 years so that younger offenders can finally be held criminally accountable. https://t.co/O13553BqJF #Messer #Berlin #Gewalt #Jugend #Strafrecht (translated)

Am 7. September kam es zwischen 20 Uhr und 21.15 Uhr in der Innenstadt von Augsburg zu einer Vergewaltigung. Das Opfer ist ein 15-jähriges Mädchen. Man fand die 15-Jährige im Bleigässchen in hilfloser Lage auf, anschließend wurde sie ärztlich versorgt. So vermeldete die Polizei am 10. September und fragte, wer das Mädchen vor 21.15 Uhr möglicherweise in Begleitung anderer Personen gesehen hat. Relevant seien andere Personen zwischen 15 und 20 Jahren, die gegebenenfalls vereinzelt unter Alkohol- und Drogeneinfluss gestanden haben. Am vergangenen Freitag wurde dann mitgeteilt, dass man aufgrund intensiver Ermittlungen und Zeugenbefragungen einen Tatverdächtigen festnehmen konnte. Bei ihm handle es sich um einen 16-Jährigen. Wegen des dringenden Tatverdachts wurde Haftbefehl wegen des Tatvorwurfs der Vergewaltigung erlassen und in Vollzug gesetzt. Ich hatte gestern um 9.50 Uhr nachgefragt und wollte wissen, ob sich das Opfer und der Tatverdächtige zuvor gekannt hatten, ob der Tatverdächtige bereits polizeibekannt war und ob er unter Alkohol- und / oder Drogeneinfluss stand. Außerdem fragte ich welche Staatsangehörigkeit Tatverdächtiger und Opfer besitzen. Die Antwort erreichte mich dann vor einer Stunde. Man könne mit Verweis auf das laufende Ermittlungsverfahren keine weiteren Auskünfte geben.🙄 #Augsburg #Vergewaltigung #Strafrecht

Grooming Gangs in Nürnberg. Die Ermittlungskommission "EKO Kajal" leistete in den letzten Wochen wirklich hervorragende Arbeit und konnte in diesem Zeitraum bereits 21 Tatverdächtige festnehmen, von denen einzelne verdächtigt werden, minderjährigen Mädchen Drogen verabreicht zu haben und einzelnen wiederum die Vergewaltigung selbiger Mädchen vorgeworfen wird. Unter den Tatverdächtigen sind 20 Ausländer und ein Deutscher. Ich habe nachgefragt, ob sich alle Tatverdächtigen in Untersuchungshaft befinden. Laut Auskunft des Polizeipräsidiums Mittelfranken befinden sich 20 Tatverdächtige bis zum Prozess in Untersuchungshaft. Ein Tatverdächtiger wurde bereits nach Serbien abgeschoben. #Nürnberg #GroomingGangs #Kriminalität
