The "NSU 2.0" has published data on another prominent victim in a threatening mail: According to the "Frankfurter Rundschau", the private address of moderator and comedian Jan Böhmermann appears in the letter.

The mail is said to have been sent after Böhmermann's data had been accessed a few days earlier by a Berlin police computer.

The incident happened in the summer.

The Hessian Justice Minister Eva Kühne-Hörmann (CDU) announced on Thursday in the interior committee of the Hessian state parliament that Böhmermann's personal data had been accessed on a police computer in Berlin on July 25, 2020.

However, she did not make any direct reference to the subsequent threatening letter.

Death threats and Nazi phrases

Most recently, the Frankfurt public prosecutor was informed of more than a dozen new letters from the "NSU 2.0".

One of the victims is the Frankfurt lawyer Seda Basay-Yildiz.

Her case recently caused a stir, as the threat writers were able to find out her address again after the lawyer had moved.

Basay-Yildiz had already received a threatening message from the "NSU 2.0" in 2018.

Your personal data had previously been requested at a police station in Frankfurt am Main.

After their move, however, the investigators could no longer have any corresponding data queries from Hessian police computers, according to investigators.

Data from the cabaret artist Idil Baydar had also been queried by police computers.

She has long been threatened by right-wing extremists.

The left-wing MP Janine Wissler is also affected.
