The Updated Mainz Murder Story

Back in May, I essayed a number of pieces on a murder in the local region (Mainz-Wiesbaden). It involved a 14-year old German girl (of a Jewish family), and what would be discovered....an Iraqi guy...around age 20....who'd been in Germany three years....is the suspect.  The brief bit to this story is that they figured the girl was dead, but had NO body....so you can't charge anyone or move on any case, unless you recover the body.

The Iraqi guy knew he was the chief suspect, and ran over to the Iraqi consulate in the region....got passport papers of some type for himself, the father and mother, and the siblings....with fresh new names (no one explains that detail), and the family flies out of northern Germany....to Turkey, and later onto northern Iraq.

The body?  It is recovered right around this 24-hour period of the escape.

So the German cops want this guy....knowing he is in Iraq.  They put the message out, and the Kurdish cops get this guy within twelve hours (yes, it was awful proficient).  Then the German authorities wants everyone to know....there is no extradition treaty between Iraq and Germany.  So they say....it might be months, or years before he is ever brought to justice.

The Kurd cops call up the State cops in Germany, and let them know....if you come and pick the guy up....we will just release him to you.  Without saying much....federal police chief Dieter Romann....without telling 'mutti' (Chancellor Merkel), or the various political folks....flies into Iraq and recovers this Iraqi suspect and returns the guy to Frankfurt.

Getting a medal?  No.

Today, via HR reporting....Romann is now being investigated for depriving the rights for the Iraqi guy accused of the murder of this German fourteen-year old girl.  Federal case?  Absolutely.

Could the Iraqi be turned loose?  Yes.

Could Romann end up in federal prison?  Yes.

The problem here is that the German legal system, and the Merkel government (stretching all the way to the court system, judges and prosecutors) are getting public attention and making themselves appear in a negative way.  This Iraqi suspect should have never been able to leave Germany, yet the system....designed in some fraudulent way to look professional....is simply not geared to handle these types of situations. 

If they end up releasing the Iraqi guy?  You can figure within sixty days....another five points will be added onto the AfD political machine.  If the police chief goes off to prison, you can probably add two or three more points. 

The political parties and the legal system at work?  As much as they chat about doing the 'right thing', they are standing there in a clear mess, and the only solution left for them is to let the suspect go back to Iraq, put the police chief in prison, and gear up for a AfD Party victory in the next decade. 

Fixing this? Near impossible.  Maybe if you let the guy go....give evidence to the Iraqis, and just let their brand of justice take place....it might resolve a lot of this, but that would scare the crap out of German politicians.....to let more inhumane justice take place.
