Solingen Probe in Limbo

Lisa Kapteinat, the Social Democratic Party’s representative on the parliamentary committee investigating the Solingen attack, has warned that the committee may not finish its work before the end of the parliamentary term in North Rhine-Westphalia. She accused the state government of withholding important documents from the interior and refugee affairs ministries, despite court rulings requiring them to be made available. The committee is examining possible failings in the lead-up to the August 2024 attack, in which three people were killed and eight injured. It is also investigating allegations that three men encouraged the perpetrator online, though there is no evidence that they were directly involved. Next week, the committee is due to hear from the head of the state’s Office for the Protection of the Constitution about what information the security services had before the attack.
