Mainz police searched the apartment: Hamas glorification online!

On Tuesday morning, the police in Mainz-Bretzenheim searched the apartment of a 37-year-old man who is suspected of glorifying Hamas' attack on Israel. The assignment began around 6 a.m. when several police forces rang the doorbell with a search order. Data carriers and mobile phones were ensured. According to the first reports by Mercury Mainz , it was a targeted measure by the authorities.

The Attorney General in Koblenz has started the investigation because the man is accused of expressing his consent to Hamas' violence on social media. The terrible attack on October 7, 2023, in which over 1,200 people were murdered and numerous others were deported to the Gaza strips, is the focus of these investigations. This represents a serious accusation that can be seen in Germany as a disorder of public peace.

studies on possible crimes

The Attorney General said that there is a suspicion of the 37-year-old to spread criminal offenses into equal and propaganda material of terrorist organizations. This specifically refers to videos and comments in which the violence of Hamas is praised. Which content is currently being examined.

The goal of these efforts is to check whether the online accounts actually belong to the accused man. The presumption of innocence applies to him until a possible indictment. If there is an indictment, this could lead to a fine for the man. The police therefore remain active in the examination of these allegations.

attentive authorities and Hatespeech

The reference to the suspect came from the Rhineland-Palatinate Constitutional Protection, which apparently became aware of the man's online activities. Since October 7, 2023, police authorities have set up their own departments in the region to search specifically for Hatespeech and similar crimes. These investigative activities are bundled by the General Prosecutor's Office in Koblenz, where a number of procedures have already been initiated.

In view of the important events of the past year, especially the attack on Israel, the commitment to such ideas on the Internet is more important than ever. In Mainz and Wiesbaden, the victim of the attack will be commemorated next Monday, with both religious and political representatives invited to set a sign of peace and solidarity.

On October 7, a peace and memorial event will take place in the state museum in Mainz, including with the presence of the Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister. A memorial event on the Schlossplatz is organized in Wiesbaden. Despite the sensitive Situation, there are no registered counter -demonstrations in both cities.
