In connection with an investigation against the right-wing extremist conspiracy narrator Attila Hildmann, the Berlin public prosecutor's office suspects a former employee of having betrayed internal matters.
"Unfortunately, we have to assume that there is a mole in our own ranks," said authority spokesman Martin Steltner on Monday in Berlin.
The public prosecutor's office is investigating the suspicion of a breach of official secrecy and the attempted thwarting of punishment.
Berlin - A former employee of the public prosecutor's office is suspected.
She is said to have passed on internal information about an arrest warrant to the right-wing extremist conspiracy narrator Attila Hildmann.
The woman was noticed at a demonstration against corona measures.
There she became conspicuous and identified herself as an employee of the judiciary.
The review of the information system showed that data on people from the right-wing extremist and "lateral thinkers" scene had been requested.
"We then terminated the person without notice in May," said Steltner.
The woman was searched in July.
Data had been secured.

The Berlin public prosecutor's office is investigating Hildmann for sedition, suspicion of public incitement to criminal offenses and resistance to law enforcement officers.
An arrest warrant against Hildmann cannot be carried out because he is in Turkey.
According to the current state of the investigation, the public prosecutor does not assume that there is a connection between the "piercing" and Hildmann's flight.
"He left for Turkey at the end of December last year, the events we are talking about took place in February of this year," said Steltner.
