Saxony-Anhalt: Investigations into right-wing extremism allegations against LKA officials

Criminal investigations have been initiated against four officials from the State Criminal Police Office in Saxony-Anhalt. They are said to have shared right-wing extremist content in chats.

In Saxony-Anhalt, criminal investigations have been initiated against four officers of the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) on suspicion of extremism. Two officials are employed in the field of personal protection, as the Ministry of the Interior announced on Friday in Magdeburg. “By evaluating another person’s mobile phone, bilateral contacts with these officials and bilateral communication processes with (according to the current status of examination) trivializing content of National Socialism became known.”

According to the MDR report: Two bodyguards withdrawn from Prime Minister Haseloff

The LKA had forbidden the two officials from the area of ​​personal protection to conduct official business. The other two officials were transferred to the office. In addition, disciplinary proceedings had been initiated against all four – among other things, on suspicion of violating the duty of loyalty to the constitution. The disciplinary proceedings are suspended at the same time because of the criminal investigations that have been initiated.

The Ministry of the Interior further stated that there was never any danger for persons protected. The MDR Saxony-Anhalt had previously reported that two bodyguards were said to have been withdrawn from service by Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU).

According to the current status, there is no evidence that the officials were active in right-wing extremist chat groups or belong to the prepper scene, the ministry said. Preppers are people who prepare extensively for emergencies and disasters because they don’t believe that state crisis management works.
