Magdeburg Christmas market drama: authorities under suspicion of murder!

Magdeburg, Deutschland - Magdeburg, a city shakes by a terrible event that should never have happened. The tragedy at the Christmas market, which demanded five innocent human lives and left 200 injuries, is now causing a sensation. If this fateful gap had not existed, this disaster would never have occurred, according to the investigators who are now taking a close look at the city administration and the police. At the scene of the crime, right next to the mulled wine pyramid, could definitely not have been a five-meter-wide gap through which the death driver Taleb al-Abdulmohsen (50) could race freely with his BMW.

The Attorney General in Naumburg have advertisements against the said authorities. Like Image reports, you will be accused of aid to murder in five cases and for assault in at least 200 cases. The Criminalist Institute Jena e.V., which raises this serious accusation: "Aid for a crime through omission," said Chairman Dieter Siegel. If it were up to him, simple measures such as mobile blocks or parked vehicles prevented the bloodbath.

The criminal dimension

The outrage of the Magdeburg lawyer Dr. Adam Ahmed leaves no doubt. In his demand that the public prosecutor must now investigate due to negligent killing, he speaks clear words. While those responsible for the police have to assume criminal responsibility, the main focus is on the local operations manager, who would have to be responsible for the inexplicable gap in the security concept. Why did the critical access remained unprotected when a police vehicle was planned as a barrier?

The Ministry of the Interior reacts cool: Spokeswoman Patricia Blei explains that the Magdeburg police station would have created a concept of insert, but the number of vehicles required remained unclear. A promise that is difficult to comfort the survivors and relatives of the victims.

civil law consequences

The legal aftermath could not only be criminal but also in nature. Lawyer Norman Synek explains that the victims and their relatives could consider claims for damages. The question of a possible official liability is in the room and would be dependent on the specific circumstances of each individual affected.

The Magdeburg Christmas, which has become a nightmare, throws long shadows. The lane gap, which enabled a death trip in the middle of a peaceful hustle and bustle on the Christmas market, is now understood as a symbol of a colossal security failure. The picture describes how the controversy around the inadequate security concept continues to smell and trust in the institutions is put to the test.
