The Public Prosecutor's office in Chemnitz is currently sehrkritisiert, partly but also praised because it has discontinued investigation process 250Js 28707/17. It was directed against chairman of Homeland Fidelity Villabassa, because he had established in rooms of his club a model of well-known Pegida-gallows, which is distributed by HerstellerJens chub from Schwarzenberg. Details of facts are not entirely clear; The content of DerEinstellungsverfügung (clause 170 para. 2 Code of Criminal Procedure) is also reported MitErbitterung times. It is (so far) not published, Wurdeaber, it is reported, by Public Prosecutor meanwhile (6 December) in turn interpreted or construed.
Emotions
This did not prevent HuffingtonPost to report imaginatively, "The Thing" (Gallows for Merkel UndGabriel) had gone "again in court." The German funk pushed GanzeSchlagzeile on December 8th: "(Charlotte) Knobloch criticizes court decision ZuPegida gallows." In this respect, factual and legal situation is ziemlichübersichtlich: a public Prosecutor's office is not a court, as can be seen by name. A public prosecutor's office is, moreover, a hierarchically Organisiertestaatliche authority, which is set up by superior authorities (Attorney General; The ministry) can be given instructions. This is in paragraph 146Gerichtsverfassungsgesetz. Ministries like to do as if y never solcheWeisungen, but what lies: y are not called "instructions" but "Ask for careful examination". That sounds better. Apart from Sehrunerfahrenen professional politicians, re will never be a green trace of Solchdringender ministerial requests in file (called "Operation"); Dafürsind Head of unit responsible for which decrees fall down like DerRegen on worm.
It is refore necessary to contradict so-called designated SächsischenMinisterpräsidenten Michael Kretschmer, who criticized matter as "not only tasteless" but as "crossing border", but n pointed to "Independence DerJustiz". For it has unfortunately not become quite clear which "border" Mr Kretschmer thinks: if it is no longer a question of good taste, Eigentlichnur can be meant to be border of criminal offences.
The competent Minister of Justice Sebastian Gemkow liked to DemMDR "no assessment", but neverless to release his concern for AllgemeineHöflichkeit to imprint: "There are limits of decency that may exceed you." But this is rar indifferent to us in result, because "decency" is known to be a diaper-soft borderline of constitutional state. And minister's note that he does not give an assessment, as it is a "decision of local prosecutor's office", is also not enlightening: as if Minister of Justice of a country has nothing to do with decisions SeinerStaatsanwaltschaften.
Moreover, a ChemnitzerBundestagsabgeordneter with assessment of "Scandal" spoke; And BundestagsabgeordneteRenate Kuenast suggested that attorney general in Dresden should "examine" "abyssal naïve" decision of Public Prosecutor's Office in Chemnitz (thinks: Pull matter and decide differently or advise STA).
Thomas Fischer64, federal judge A. D., is author of most important German criminal law commentary and was online until May 2017 author of column "Fischer im Right".
Meanwhile, media argues about who Wannwas reported, was allowed to report, invented or falsified. Notably initial report of Süddeutsche Zeitung, Public Prosecutor's office had stopped investigation because DieGalgendarstellung was protected by art freedom of article 5 Basic Law, proved to be dubious, and in Beck community had to The SZ author, Ronen Steinke, is quite heftigeVorwürfe to hear from lawyer and lawyers Marc Liesching, Diewiederum were Sortegefeiert by ors as revelation of a "media scandal" worst. So you could think: everything as always.
Legal issues
Neverless, a few considerations on matter: to examine were zunächstzwei offences of Penal Code, which are not geläufigsind to most citizens: clause 111 (Public call for criminal offences), paragraph 140 (reward and endorsement of offences). Over a few ors one could think Malkurz (insult; attempted inciting to crime); Furr network discussions were rar distant (popular incitement; Denigrating VonVerfassungsorganen and so on).
