The father of the Hanau attacker has to answer in court for allegations of insult. But he did not appear at the beginning of the trial. The police had to get him.
After a long interruption right at the beginning, the trial against the father of the Hanau assassin on charges of insult was continued on Wednesday before the Hanau district court.
Since the accused did not appear voluntarily at the start of the trial, the police ordered him to fetch him and bring him forward. After entering the hall, the man informed the presiding judge that he had rejected her because of bias and that he had sent a fax to this effect. Addressing his lawyer, he said: “You are not my defense lawyer.”
According to the court, the public prosecutor’s office accused him of insulting him in three cases. It concerns statements in an advertisement and two letters to authorities.
The accused is the father of the 43-year-old German who shot and killed nine people for racist motives in Hanau on February 19, 2020, before presumably killing his mother and ultimately himself. Among other things, the man is said to have described several people as “wild strangers” in a criminal complaint in January 2021. They had previously held a meeting near his home. Another case concerns a letter from January 2021 to the Attorney General in which the man referred to a special task force from Frankfurt, which was deployed in his home immediately after the attack, as a “terrorist squad” or “terrorist unit”.
After all, in February 2021, in a letter to the Hanau district court, he was alleged to have accused Hanau’s Lord Mayor Claus Kaminsky (SPD) of “cheating”, among other things. On request, the man’s lawyer had not given an opinion on the allegations against his client and did not want to comment on Wednesday either.
