9. DU doesn't talk much about the Neo-Nazie in European governments

In Germany, some racist murderers targeted Turks and the police just blamed the victims claiming they were part of a Turkish mafia despite zero evidence any were while not investigating AND TRASHING EVIDENCE leading to the rightwing neo-nazis.

Even now, right-wingers there make apologies for the police collaboration.

And the trial was moved to Munich… the German version of a deep Red State.

AND they tried to prevent media agencies access:


The case has attracted widespread attention abroad. Its opening was delayed by nearly three weeks after a Turkish newspaper filed a petition with Germany’s highest court to be allowed in the courtroom after it failed to secure one of the 50 seats reserved for reporters. The high court ordered the Munich judges to grant access to news media outlets from Turkey and Greece, leading to a new accreditation process.

That delay was only the latest in a case that has been plagued by mistakes that have damaged the reputation of Germany’s security apparatus. The head of the domestic intelligence agency resigned in July because an official in his office had shredded documents that may have contained evidence from paid informants about members of the group.

State domestic intelligence chiefs in Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt also stepped down as a result of the case, and critics and relatives of the victims charge that the government indirectly supported the neo-Nazis through payments to confidential informants associated with the far right, several of whom had connections to the group over the years.
