Huh, what’s going on over there? This is now the second time within a short period that we are rubbing our eyes in confusion. First the
release of Nathalie and Manuel from pre-trial detention. Now the
judicial association Himmelstoß and Co. are refusing to deliberate on the Zündlumpen case. Even better: they dismissed the case against the third accused outright and thus also the case for the creation of a criminal association.
After all a criminal association requires three accused. It seems that even in the eyes of the district court there is not enough evidence to prove that this third anarchist was involved with Zündlumpen. Instead they delegate the case, now only against two people, down to the lower court because they no longer feel responsible. In Bavaria things are happening… that not even we intractable anarchists would have thought possible.
Of course the furious General-SA Eva Firoozi doesn’t accept this so
easily. After all she has made the hunt for anarchists her career, which is why she quickly objected to the case being dropped. But that’s not all.
The spectacle of repression could of course be even more of a farce.
Why not use an absurd excuse to take a DNA sample from
a suspected anarchist? And so Mr. Obermeier and Meyer stand in the hallway of a suspected anarchist apartment to satiate their hunger for anarchist bodily fluids. DNA traces of an unknown masculine person were found on a copy of the “Hetzblatt” that supposedly match the DNA traces that were found four years ago at the site of a break in at an SB car wash in the Altöttinger area. Reason enough to take a DNA sample from a person, against whom the “Hetzblatt” case was dropped two months ago due to a lack of evidence, “because they have family in the area.” While they leave with their valuable loot they deliver a police summons on behalf of the public prosecutors office to another person because of a letter that Manuel wrote to them from prison. They are asked to testify as a witness that Manuel supposedly ordered an arson. And thus the chicanery continues.
Now the decision whether or not to reopen the Zündlumpen case in 2026 lies with the higher regional court. That means waiting once again because the court is not bound by a deadline to make the decision. While this surprising news is a relief, we should not forget that the state has already accomplished a lot with the years long repression against anarchists and their projects in Munich: countless house searches, 7 months of pre-trial detention for the comrades Manuel and Nathalie, the closure of the anarchist library Frevel, the confiscation of several printers, newspapers, books, and paper, and lastly lots and lots of stress. After all §129 cases are always a perfect excuse for comprehensive surveillance, eaves dropping and observation.
Even if the §129 case falls apart and the individual accusations(condoning and encouraging crimes, intimidation) are handled by the lower court, this will be a case in which our animosity towards any authority, our anarchist ideas and positions, will be persecuted. The chicanery directly following the (partial) dropping of charges shows that the state will continue to destroy anarchist projects and put pressure on an entire scene. It is up to us to show that our passion for freedom is stronger than any censorship or prison wall.
No love for the servants of the state.
Freedom for all.
