According to the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office, the conspiracy ideologist Attila Hildmann is currently in Turkey.
An arrest warrant because of the urgent suspicion of sedition could not be carried out, said the authority.
This is "not to be expected" in the near future.
In the preliminary investigation against the 39-year-old, the Berlin prosecution checked more than a thousand statements.
In addition to the suspicion of incitement to hatred, it is also the suspicion of public incitement to criminal offenses and resistance to law enforcement officers.
Formerly known as a vegan cookbook author, Hildmann calls himself "ultra-right" and a conspiracy preacher.
He had appeared repeatedly during protests against the corona protective measures.
There and on his Telegram channel he spread massive, often anti-Semitic agitation.
About the former Green Party member Volker Beck, he said: "For Beck, as future Chancellor, I would reintroduce the death penalty by kicking eggs in a public place."
The police in Brandenburg had initially seized Hildmann's evidence during a search of the apartment.
In December, a court order in Berlin obtained that the public prosecutor's office could evaluate several laptops, cell phones, memory cards and USB sticks.
The investigations were bundled in Berlin.
Justice Senator Dirk Behrendt (Greens) justified this with effective criminal prosecution.
Several preliminary investigations from Brandenburg had therefore been handed over to the authorities in the capital.
