Dorgen scandal with the Munich police?
The investigation has been running since 2018 - on Wednesday (September 23), the investigators searched suspicious apartments and offices in Munich.
The list of allegations against the Munich officials is long: persecution of innocent people, thwarting punishment in office - and worse.
Munich - The
Munich
I
public prosecutor's office
and the
Bavarian State Criminal Police Office have been
investigating a total of 21 officers from the
Munich police headquarters
since mid-July 2018
.
Mainly because of suspected violations of the
Narcotics Act
.
As a result, on Wednesday (September 23), starting at 6 a.m., the
homes
and related rooms in the
offices of
the suspected officers were searched.
A total of nine police officers from the Munich Police Headquarters were affected by this measure.
After completion of the first criminal police
measures
,
disciplinary proceedings are to be
opened
against the accused
.
Early morning raid: Serious allegations against police officers from Munich
Individual officials are also being investigated on suspicion of
persecuting innocent people
or
frustrating criminal offenses in office
.
From the point of view of the investigating authorities, the allegation of persecuting innocent people is particularly serious.
There are supposed to be indications that in one case there
was no
resistance
against police
officers alleged by the police
.
In another case, a police officer
allegedly
diverted
cocaine
stored in a police station
(the criminal charge is “breach of custody”) and was not prevented from doing so by his colleagues - which in turn would mean thwarting punishment.
The investigation started in 2018 after an alleged
drug dealer
, who is
said to have
primarily
supplied
customers of a Munich
nightclub
with intoxicants, brought allegations against police officers in court.

It definitely can not be tolerated that, as it suggests the current investigation capable knowingly employees of our police headquarters
crimes
were committed.
In particular, I trust the independent and neutral investigative work of the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office, which, together with the Munich I public prosecutor's office, will do everything in its power to clarify the matter as precisely as possible.
