Still waters are deep – deep states are still (nd-aktuell.de)

Michael Buback, son of the Attorney General who was murdered by the RAF in 1977, has wanted to know who killed his father for 45 years. The fact that the murder was never solved, he says, could be because a “protective hand” hovers over the perpetrators. There are many indications that Verena Becker was the gunman. Nevertheless, under pressure from Buback, the woman was only charged in the cause in 2010 – as an accomplice, not for murder. As the family lawyer recalls, everything that could have incriminated her was “reflexively rejected” by the federal prosecutor. Your interrogation files are still under lock and key. Still waters run deep. And deep states are silent. Especially when it comes to »protective hands«.

As with Ms. Becker, files by the kilo were also shredded at the NSU. However, there is one name that would be of the greatest interest if you want to uncover the NSU network: Ralf Marschner, rooted in the Zwickau right-wing rock, football and violence scene, had himself after he was involved in an arson attack on a refugee home in 1991 , finally qualified to work as informant »Primus« for the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Today he lives in Switzerland and the authorities are said not to be able to guide him to Germany. This is also surprising because football circles have repeatedly heard that Marschner sometimes comes to Germany voluntarily. For example, when his favorite club plays near the border.

It has long been known that the man pulled the strings in the NSU environment. As media research has now shown, it could have been so intense that there is a second case of Verena Becker, so the cloak of silence should be lifted again. In any case, Marschner was in contact with right-wing Nuremberg hooligans, who are also suspected of belonging to the NSU support group. The NSU murdered in Nuremberg as well as in Dortmund, where the two Uwes were photographed near the home of a BVB hooligan. In this respect, it would be more surprising than if it came out that the NSU supporters at other crime scenes also consisted of politically affine hools who, after losing their importance in the curves, have increasingly devoted themselves to politics. However, this will never come out, because after all there are the “offices” that can invoke confidentiality obligations before courts and investigative committees. It’s the same offices that would argue at this point that they need to engage with unsavory contemporaries to learn more about unsavory scenes.

In the right-wing scene there is great laughter when they hear this. Shortly after the NSU was exposed, the agency said it didn’t learn anything from its own people that they wouldn’t know anyway if they were a little smarter. The state money, with which largely worthless information was paid for, is accepted gladly and without receipt in order to build up one’s own apparatus.

The fact that Beate Zschäpe was given life imprisonment with subsequent preventive detention at the request of the same federal prosecutor who did not want to charge Becker with murder may seem fair to some. I find it amazing how many people see the locking away of a symbolic figure as the end of the line. At least until my suspicion is refuted that under the protection of the authorities people who played a bigger role in the NSU murders than Zschäpe are walking around freely. I’m happy to be convinced otherwise. Dear Office for the Protection of the Constitution, just tell me what you know. I’ll uncork a good bottle and you bring Marschner’s Ralf with you. You have his number.
