NSU terrorist Zschäpe dismantles at the BKA
A notorious right-wing extremist terror group in Germany known as the NSU has been linked to the murder of ten individuals over the years. Now, new revelations are emerging as the imprisoned Beate Zschäpe is disclosing details about these heinous crimes to the German authorities.
More than a decade has passed since the exposure of the extremist terrorist cell "Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund" (NSU), and investigators are now pursuing new leads based on Zschäpe's confessions. During interrogation sessions between August and October 2023, Zschäpe shared extensive details regarding her time in the underground and her former associates Uwe Böhnhardt and Uwe Mundlos. She reportedly spoke about Mundlos' unexplained absences, citing a long-term relationship with a woman living in Switzerland. Unfortunately, she could only recall the woman's first name.
In pursuit of Mundlos' alleged partner, investigators have come across a right-wing extremist who was deeply involved in the Swiss neo-Nazi scene and had close relations with the violent organizations "Blood & Honour" and "Combat 18." In the beginning of March 2023, Swiss investigators searched the 39-year-old's home in Zurich. Following her witness testimony, she denied knowing Mundlos. So far, the authorities have not stumbled upon any evidence that could disprove this claim.
Zschäpe also delivered information about the murder of police officer Michèle Kiesewetter in April 2007 in Heilbronn. Zschäpe claimed that the purpose of the attack on Kiesewetter and her colleague Martin A. was to acquire trustworthy police weapons. According to her, Mundlos fired at Martin A., while Böhnhardt shot Kiesewetter.
The young police officer lost her life, and her colleague survived with critical injuries. Later, Böhnhardt allegedly told Zschäpe that he had left "NSU" graffiti at the crime scene. Indeed, such a graffiti was found on the wall where Kiesewetter's patrol car was parked, but at the time, no one comprehended its significance.
The information obtained from Zschäpe was valuable enough for the prosecutor's office to file charges against a suspected NSU supporter, Susann E., in late February. Some of the details have reportedly been sourced from Zschäpe's statements.
The NSU was a terrorist organization that perpetrated ten murders in Germany beginning in 2000. Remaining undetected for a significant period, the trio eventually committed suicide in a camper van after a failed bank robbery in November 2011. Mundlos and Böhnhardt ended their lives that day, whereas Zschäpe surrendered herself a few days following the incident.
