Terror weapon knife or car: Hubig wants to adapt criminal law
If you want to commit attacks, you often do this with everyday objects. Federal Minister of Justice Stefanie Hubig reacts with new legislative proposals.
According to the will by Federal Minister of Justice Stefanie Hubig (SPD), the preparation of terrorists with everyday objects such as cars or knives should be punished sharper. “This takes into account the fact that vehicles or knives have recently been used in the attacks,” says a corresponding draft law that the Ministry of Justice has published in Berlin. The “Bild” newspaper had previously reported about it.
It is also about traveling to terrorist camps abroad
According to the plans, the departure and return to Germany with the aim of committing a terrorist crime should also be classified as a so -called serious criminal offense. This is a prison sentence of six months to ten years in prison. This aims at people who travel abroad for terrorism training. Changes are also planned for the criminal liability of terrorism financing.
If you spy for foreign governments in Germany, according to Hubig’s plans should have to expect tougher punishments. Instead of five years in prison or a fine so far, a prison sentence of six months to ten years in prison should threaten, in less severe cases up to five years or a fine.
The police union demands more
Don’t you want to miss anything from the star?
Personally, competent and entertaining: Editor -in -chief Gregor Peter Schmitz sends you the most important content from the star-Credaction and arranges what Germany talks about.
“This will react to the increasing threat from foreign secret services since the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, which no longer makes the previous criminal framework of the regulation seem sufficient,” said the Ministry. Certain hidden investigation measures such as online search or listening to apartments should be possible.
The police union (GdP) welcomed the project, but warned, but did not be enough. The security authorities would have to be able to identify possible criminals in good time. Investments in qualified staff, modern technical equipment and legal powers are necessary. For example, artificial intelligence can be used more.
