The files, reportedly concerning the NSU murder series, were provided to activists, according to Felix Krebs of the Hamburg Alliance Against Right-Wing Extremism. What can be read in them about the Hamburg murder case of Süleyman Taşköprü points to a very one-sided approach by the investigators: “It was precisely the Hamburg investigators who focused on organized crime, who investigated very intensively and burdening the Taşköprü family and their family environment,” said Krebs. He added that the investigations did not look into right-wing extremism and racism, despite the fact that 25 years ago, nationwide figures of the neo-Nazi scene lived in Hamburg.
Parliamentary President Seeks Official Release Through Courts
Parliamentary President Carola Veit (SPD) thanked for the data stick: “I will keep it safe, I will not look at it, and I will not pass it on. Because if it is the material it is alleged to be, then any handling of it would be highly punishable.”
Veit intends to legally pursue the official release of the files in court, enabling the research team commissioned by the parliament to investigate the investigative failures and circumstances of the Hamburg NSU murder.
Background: The NSU Murder of Süleyman Taşköprü in Hamburg
Süleyman Taşköprü, a greengrocer, was shot dead by right-wing extremists on June 27, 2001. At the time, questions arose: was he a “random victim”? Or was there more to it? Süleyman Taşköprü lived as a family man in Hamburg-Altona and dreamed of fast cars. He was murdered by the NSU on June 27, 2001.
