Faxes containing threatening letters signed “NSU 2.0” were sent from a police station. A police officer and a police officer on duty came under suspicion. But they don’t have to fear a lawsuit for the time being.

In the case of “NSU 2.0″ threatening series, the Frankfurt public prosecutor’s office has stopped the investigation against two police officers. The authority announced this on Monday upon request. The investigation had been carried out against a police officer and a female police officer. The first fax in the series was in August 2018 to the Frankfurt lawyer Seda Basay-Yildiz received it, it contained personal data. These had been requested without authorization from a work computer in the 1st police station where the policewoman was logged in. Shortly afterwards the fax was sent. The policeman was on duty at the time. Previously, other media had reported about the setting.

The investigation was discontinued on December 7, 2023, the public prosecutor’s office announced on Monday. Sufficient suspicion could not be substantiated. An appeal was lodged against the decision. Basay-Yildiz’s lawyer, Antonia von der Behrens, confirmed this upon request.

Threatening letter signed “NSU 2.0” sent

Threatening letters signed “NSU 2.0” were then sent to numerous other public figures, especially women. The author, a 54-year-old man from Berlin, was sentenced to five years and ten months in prison in 2022.

The co-plaintiff Basay-Yildiz, among others, doubted in the proceedings that a single perpetrator was responsible for the series. During the trial, her lawyer von der Behrens made several requests for further clarification of the events in the 1st police station and the role of the police officers there in the 20-minute query of personal data from Basay-Yildiz and her relatives. In connection with investigations into the illegal data query, a chat group with right-wing extremist content was uncovered within the district.
