Chief Inspector Michael F. was assigned to develop a security concept for a Jewish community in Hanover. Of all things. He is one of the arrested suspected conspirators who are said to have planned a coup.

On August 9, 2020, Michael F. will appear on the stage of a lateral thinker demonstration at Dortmund’s Hansaplatz for the first time. In videos you can see how he reads from the note: “My name is Michael F., I’m 57 years old and I’m a chief inspector.” And a few minutes later: “I’m a policeman.” That’s what he called himself from then on in his Telegram channel: he also said goodbye to his selfie videos as a “policeman with heart and brain”. At that time, the chief inspector worked for the Hanover police. His specialty: burglary protection. One of his assignments: protecting a Jewish community.
