Yvonne Kussmann wrote that 22-year-old student Marius Dick was stabbed on July 15, 2026, around 10 a.m. in Trier on a pedestrian path by 22-year-old Afghan Sajad M. After the act, Sajad M. was taken to a psychiatric clinic. There is a suspicion that he was incapable of culpability or had diminished culpability due to a mental illness, Kussmann wrote. Sajad M. had already been in a psychiatric clinic before. Despite repeated inquiries, the public prosecutor's office has not yet informed Kussmann whether he was committed at that time due to a danger to others. Marius's parents gave an interview to the Trier Volksfreund. Four weeks after the death of his son, the father suffered a heart attack and had to undergo surgery. He is currently in a rehab clinic and is supposed to come home on the weekend so that his wife and younger son are not alone. Kussmann wrote that Chancellor Merz called the parents shortly after the act because Marius’s mother was politically active in the CDU. The father reportedly urged Merz to immediately deport immigrants who had committed offenses to prevent further acts. This was a promise that Merz had made before the election. The father is now disappointed because, in his view, nothing has happened. He said that such acts could happen to anyone and accused the government of not protecting citizens. He said this would tear the CDU apart and could lead to other parties taking power. Germany is currently at a turning point, he also reportedly said. As of now, Sajad M. has not commented on the act. Kussmann wrote that she is looking forward to the trial with anticipation and fears it could end with an acquittal due to insanity and placement in overcrowded preventive detention. She announced that she would ask the public prosecutor's office again in the following week about the possible conclusion of the investigation and the status of the forensic psychiatric report. The interview can be found in the comments. #Trier #Gewalt #Justiz (translated)

Timo Lehmann wrote that the police in Halle could have cleared the way for the vice president of the state parliament, Tillschneider, that day, but did not do so. Carrying away people wearing a kippah in front of the synagogue for a right-wing extremist is unacceptable, he stated. The police's actions gave him hope. https://t.co/XhyiaqAqfP #Halle #Polizei #Rechtsextremismus (translated)

The author wrote that every 19 minutes a company goes bankrupt. Since the beginning of the year, there have been more than 15,000 business failures, 6.9 percent more than in 2025. He attributed the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises to energy prices, bureaucracy, and taxes, and accused Merz of inaction. Only the AfD would change something about it, he declared. https://t.co/OYOj9EmMiO #Insolvenz #Mittelstand #Wirtschaft #DE (translated)

Lars Winkelsdorf wrote that he had spoken a few months ago at a personal meeting with August Hanning about Hanning's financial situation. Hanning had brought up the topic himself. The current media coverage does not adequately represent the situation from Winkelsdorf's perspective, as it appears as an exposure of the motives behind Hanning's alleged actions. According to him, Hanning explained that he had entered the supervisory board of the Latvian PNB Bank through Anders Rasmussen. An oligarch then plundered the bank, stripping it of about 30 million euros. In a civil proceeding under Latvian law, Hanning was held liable; the judgment was later enforced in Germany, and a significant portion of his pension was garnished. Winkelsdorf described Hanning as an indirectly harmed party of criminal acts and wrote that his attempts to get out of the situation had failed. It was not about losses from risky investments but rather that Hanning had been "taken advantage of," he wrote. Rasmussen has not had to pay anything so far; Winkelsdorf added that Denmark may have better laws than Germany. https://t.co/KJQ6fW9Au0 #Finanzen #Medien #Justiz (translated)
