Libel allegations: father of Hanau assassin in court

He is said to have made offensive statements in an advertisement and two letters - therefore the father of the Hanau assassin has to answer in court.

Hanau - The father of the Hanau attacker has to answer this Wednesday (9.00 a.m.) for the allegation of insult at the Hanau District Court.

It is about statements in an advertisement and two letters to authorities.

The public interest in the negotiation is great, numerous press representatives have announced themselves, so it was relocated to the Congress Park Hanau as a precaution.

According to the court, the public prosecutor's office accuses the man of having described several people as “wild strangers” in a criminal complaint in January 2021.

They had previously held a meeting under the motto “We are not waiting for another racist attack” near his home.

Several relatives of the victims of the attack were among the participants in the rally.

The accused is the father of the 43-year-old German who shot and killed nine people for racist motives in Hanau on February 19, 2020, before presumably killing his mother and ultimately himself.

Upon request, the defendant's lawyer did not comment on the allegations against his client.

Another case concerns a letter from January 2021 to the Attorney General, who had already investigated the attack on the night of the crime.

In the letter, the man is said to have referred to a special task force from Frankfurt, which was deployed at his home address immediately after the attack, as a “terrorist command” or “terrorist unit”.
