OLG Munich wants to comment on the NSU process

M (19459004) ünchen (dpa) – After five good years and more than 430 days of trial, the NSU trial is coming to an end: the Munich Higher Regional Court wants to pronounce the verdict against the alleged right-wing terrorist Beate Zschäpe and four co-defendants. Thus, the proceedings ends with the murders and attacks of the "National Socialist Underground", one of the longest and most elaborate circumstantial processes in German history of the post-war period. However, the verdict could last several hours

The Federal Prosecutor's Office requested the maximum penalty for Zschäpe: life imprisonment, identifying the specific gravity of guilt and subsequent preventive detention. The prosecution considers the 43-year-old man as an accomplice to all the crimes of the NSU: nine murders of Turkish and Greek traders, the murder of a German policewoman, two bombings with dozens of wounded and a total of 15 flights. In November 2011, Zschäpe also set fire to the last NSU escape apartment in Zwickau.

The two Zschäpe defense teams demanded the acquittal of all killings and attacks: Zschäpe was not complicit, she was neither a murderer nor a murderer. She could not be found guilty of arson in the last apartment of the NSU in Zwickau shortly after the flight of the trio on November 4, 2011.
