It's a page twenty story for the German press and you probably won't see any mention of this in the 8 PM news segment on the national German news.....but there's this interesting arrest warrant from 2016 that was thrown out by the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe.
If you remember back in 2016, the German military got all peppy and arrested one of their folks for terror planning.
This all led around to some Lt who was in some way...a right-wing enthusiast, and very much anti-migrant.
At some point....Lt 'Franco' had even taken some time off, dressed up in immigrant clothing, and pretended to be new in Germany. The system? As broke as it was.....readily accepted him but for the translator folks (hired migrants themselves).....they didn't really buy his story.
The investigation led onto federal charges...preparation of 'state-damaging' violence was the wording. Well....the court basically said that while he did a number of stupid things...apparently, he didn't cross the border in terms of what the law requires for charges.
The prosecutor? I'm guessing he's standing there and a bit peeved. It wasn't a very strong case but after all that hype....national news carrying hours and hours of marginal news over the Lt and the poor leadership of the German Army....and the charges just drop?
