“A scandal,” says Hempel. Although he was the victim of a violent crime as the father of a murdered child, he was “treated like a perpetrator” – and the real perpetrator Sabri H. was “classified as a victim.”
Hey, man, celebrate diversity! You’re sounding pretty racist there!
“Police scandal: Syrian kills 30-year-old – then police persecute the victim’s father,” translated from “Polizei-Skandal: Syrer tötet 30-Jährigen – dann verfolgt Polizei Vater des Opfers,” by Göran Schattauer, Focus, April 15, 2021 (thanks to Medforth):
In 2017, a young Syrian killed the son of Karsten Hempel (56) in Saxony-Anhalt. After the perpetrator was sentenced to probation, the police prosecuted the victim’s father for alleged plans for revenge. According to FOCUS-Online research, the investigators used illegal methods. Hempel calls for clarification.
A new police scandal is looming in Saxony-Anhalt. According to research by FOCUS Online, the Dessau-Roßlau police inspection tried to protect a convicted violent criminal from Syria and took illegal measures against a German father whose son had been killed by the Syrian.
Police suspect that the victim’s father has plans to revenge against Syrians
Specifically, it is about a “threat approach” to the 56-year-old Karsten Hempel from Wittenberg. The resource is usually used by right-wing extremists, Islamists or hooligans in order to dissuade them from potential acts of violence at an early stage. Hempel’s case was about alleged plans for revenge against the now 21-year-old Syrian Sabri H.
Background: On September 29, 2017, the then-17-year-old Sabri H. had an argument with Hempel’s son Marcus, right in front of a shopping center in Wittenberg. Sabri H. struck him with his fist, the 30-year-old victim fell and died a little later from his head injuries. The wound on the lower jaw was caused by a blow that was “carried out with considerable force,” noted the forensic doctors in the autopsy report.
Verdict against Sabri H .: two years probation
Sabri H. was convicted for the brutal act in March 2020. Not for murder, not for manslaughter, but for “bodily harm resulting in death.” Two years probation, plus 120 hours of work – the juvenile criminal chamber at the Magdeburg District Court considered this to be appropriate. So Sabri H. stayed at large. And he still is today.
At the end of 2020, the police said they had verbally received an informant’s tip that Karsten Hempel wanted to take revenge for the death of his son and wanted to do violence to Sabri H. To this day, the father vehemently denies the alleged plans.
“Dangerous speech”: Police officers came straight into the office
Nevertheless, two criminal investigators visited him in December 2020 at his place of work and held a “threat approach.” Hempel, who works as a construction manager, found himself pushed into the role of a criminal. His colleagues witnessed the strange situation, even if the actual conversation took place in a separate room.
The aim of the visit was to “prevent disruptions to public security and order,” said the police. Hempel should refrain from “commissioning or inciting persons” to “harm Sabri H.’s health or threaten him.” He, too, should refrain from acts of revenge. If he did, he was threatened with “further security measures,” including imprisonment.
Karsten Hempel: Memories of gloomy GDR times
Hempel couldn’t believe his ears and was reminded of the darkest conditions of the GDR (East Germany). “I thought the Stasi method had ended 30 years ago,” he told officials. It was common practice in the East that the state reacted to unfounded denunciations from citizens and thus plunged innocent people into misfortune. But in a democratic constitutional state? When asked who the whistleblower was, Hempel received no answer.
However, the 56-year-old had suspicions. He assumed that the “tip” came from the circle of the convicted violent criminal Sabri H. – or even from the Syrian himself. Because it is true that father Hempel sought contact with Sabri H. in the aftermath of the criminal proceedings in order to inform him that he intended to have him prosecuted under civil law – with success.
Civil lawsuit against Sabri H .: More than 25,000 euros for father
A civil chamber of the Dessau-Roßlau regional court sentenced Sabri H. in July 2020 to reimburse Hempel for all damage he suffered “from the killing of his son.” Specifically, the court awarded him 20,000 euros for survivors’ benefits and 5300 euros for legal fees. The sums stipulated in the default judgment are “enforceable” according to the court.
Karsten Hempel’s attempt to have the money due to him seized failed. At the beginning of December 2020, Sabri H. claimed to a bailiff that he had no savings, furniture or other valuables.
He also stated that he did not live at his regular registered address, but with a friend’s family. According to the probation order, he would have had to report this “move” to the Magdeburg district court, which he had not done. Karsten Hempel’s lawyer then asked the public prosecutor to investigate a possible violation of the probation conditions.
Hempel filed a criminal complaint for “false suspicion”
It is obvious that Sabri H. felt disturbed by Karsten Hempel’s legitimate research. The fact is: at some point the State Criminal Police Office of Saxony-Anhalt received the information that father Hempel supposedly wanted to take violent revenge on the Syrian. Immediately afterwards there was the “threat approach.”
Hempel did not want to accept the unfounded and from his point of view illegal police measure. He lodged an objection and filed a criminal complaint against unknown persons – for “false suspicion, defamation and pretending to be a criminal offense.”
Police admit mistake: measure was “illegal”
According to information from FOCUS Online, the father’s fight was worth it: the police had to officially admit the mistake. By decision of March 1, 2021, the Dessau-Roßlau police station informed Karsten Hempel that the police measure against him was “unlawful” and therefore “will be withdrawn.”
The reason given in the letter was that “there was no evidence of a sufficiently specific risk situation in the present case.” Thus, “the prerequisite for issuing a prohibition order (addressing the person causing the risk) was not met.”
Internal police mails: “Get a cow off the ice”
From internal police e-mails FOCUS Online, it emerges that those responsible were aware of the legal problems early on. The Head of Legal / Personnel at the Dessau-Roßlau Police Inspection noted that one should “bake very small rolls” and try to “get the cow off the ice” as quickly as possible. In their assessment, the addressing of the threats went “far beyond what is permissible in this context.”
Another letter states that at the time the threat was addressed, there was “no sufficient probability that damage to … Mr. Sabri H. will occur in the foreseeable future, which would be attributable to the appellant (Hempel).”
“A scandal”: father feels treated like a criminal
Putting it plainly, the police in Saxony-Anhalt never had a reliable suspicion against Karsten Hempel. Just because of a completely unsubstantiated “informant tip,” he was accused of plans for vigilante justice – and he was subjected to an illegal measure. “A scandal,” says Hempel. Although he was the victim of a violent crime as the father of a murdered child, he was “treated like a perpetrator” – and the real perpetrator Sabri H. was “classified as a victim.”
The 56-year-old emphasized to FOCUS Online that it was always about law and justice, not revenge. That is why he is not satisfied with the police’s withdrawal notice. He wants to see the entire investigation file on his case, including the sections that have been blacked out so far.
Lawyer: If necessary, action for unredacted files
There, Hempel suspects, the police noted the name of the “informant.” Hempel’s lawyer has already informed the investigators that his client is entitled to “learn about horse and rider.” If necessary, the complete files will be “sued for at the administrative court.”

it is a disaster when you lose your child in such a way. But that is a breathtaking scandal on top. Poor people of Germany, delivered intentionally to such criminals for all sorts of cruelties.
mortimer says
The Saxony-Anhalt police added insult to a devastated, grieving father. Shameful. If the father spoke vehemently about his son’s murderer, then that would be a normal, predictable reaction.
Would they harass a MUSLIM who had such anger and frustration. I doubt it.
A DOUBLE STANDARD … a higher standard is imposed on Germans, even when the injustice is against the German, grieving father.

Delivered by angela!
mortimer says
When will the Germans realize that a vote for Angela’s party is a vote for the destruction of their beautiful country?
Islamic values are pretty much the OPPOSITE of German values.
Chrissie01c says
Angela is a trickster. She started out a communist leader in the German Democratic Republic (Delegate for Agitation and Propaganda, to be precise). When the East part of Germany dissolve (or whatever it did, I am not so sure anymore, maybe it also swallowed the West), she never belonged to the opposition and the protest movement. She just sort of eel-ish slipped into the party of the Christian Democrats and about 10 years ago held positions that are diametrically opposed to what she decrees at present. All the characters of any ethical standing were removed in the meantime and any Germany opposing the constitutional rights of Germany against mass migration is denounced as a Nazi and – in so many – cases, cancelled socially or, as we see in this case, bereft or killed, never to count on any empathy.
Check Burry says
Yes much oposite to our views, but nothing £pretty” about those opposite views eh.
mortimer says
If you hit someone intentionally ‘with considerable force’, then that is murder in my reckoning.
This man has no value to Germany. He is a menace and should be deported immediately.
Check Burry says
Correct.
gravenimage says
And he may decide to hit someone else ‘with considerable force’ some time soon…
Check Burry says
Its in their nature.

Germany: Syrian father acquitted of murdering his daughter (†16) because the investigating authorities did a sloppy job
Almost four years after the disappearance of the Syrian refugee girl Mezgin (†16), Judge Sebastian Geis acquitted her father Hashem N. (46) of murder suspicion on Thursday (22 April) at 3 pm. (46) from suspicion of murder: “In case of doubt for the accused! Yet after the six-week trial at the Aschaffenburg Regional Court, it was clear to all observers that no one had denied the fun-loving schoolgirl’s right to live more than her own father.
“In Syria, such women would not survive for long,” the accused said, according to witnesses, about his daughter’s sexy clothes and the 23-year-old boyfriend who had allegedly deflowered Mezgin.
On May 4, 2017, Hashem N. told his wife he was picking Mezgin up from the vocational school in Aschaffenburg. She was last seen by her teacher at 11.20 a.m., and a Whatsapp message from a friend at 11.37 a.m. she no longer read. That same evening, her father reported her missing. According to the officers who took the report, he seemed unconcerned – in the days that followed, he did not try to call his daughter on the mobile.
The police had long known about the violent past of the man who, according to witnesses, had already committed murder in Syria: On May 17, 2017, he was to stand trial for mistreating his daughter at the Aschaffenburg District Court. Jörg Albert (44), of all people, became the officer in charge of Mezgin’s missing person case. He testified in the trial: “A year before, I interrogated Mezgin because she had been abused by her father. She said she did not want to return to her family. If her father found out where she was, he would kill her.”
Nevertheless, there was a series of mishaps that led to the acquittal of the father four years later: the location data of his mobile phone could no longer be read out. His son Abdallahed (then 13) fooled the CID, first saying he did not know what had happened to his half-sister, but then saying he had been forced by him to stab Mezgin.
However, when a walker accidentally found Mezgin’s decomposed body in a concrete shaft in the forest near Haibach on December 9, 2017, there were no stab wounds and no other cause of death could be determined. The N. family’s home was only 650 metres away from the concrete shaft, witnesses had seen Hashem walking at the place where the body was found – and even his wife now told the CID: “I believe he committed the crime.”
Hashem N. had long since absconded to Turkey at that time: After being sentenced to nine months in prison for mistreating Mezgin, he was supposed to appear at the prison on June 2, 2018. An inspector had previously taken away his passport because of the threat of escape, but overheard Hashem N. talking on the phone about his disappearance and saying about Mezgin’s fate: “She disappeared like salt in boiling water.
On the morning of June 2, Hashem N. lured Mezgin’s friend Sheko R. (23), into the raft harbour on the Main and stabbed him in the neck. Afterwards he disappeared – and assured the tabloid BILD in a telephone conversation from Istanbul that he had nothing to do with the disappearance of his daughter.
It took until October 2020 for the investigators to bring Hashem N. back to Germany. But he will not have to remain in custody here for too long: Only for the attempted murder of Sheko R. did the judges sentence him to eight years and nine months in prison on Wednesday. Because of the prison conditions in Turkey, the year in the cell there will be counted twice. In addition, Hashem N. must pay 6,000 euros in damages to his victim. Jürgen Bundschuh, the public prosecutor, commented on the unsatisfactory outcome of the trial: “The rule of law must endure this.

Horrifying case, Fred. Thanks for the link.
Andra says
Just another double standard in Germany. Muslim perpetrators are victims, German victims are perpetrators. Easter mass is forbidden, Ramadan is welcomed and takes place.
Germany has turned to the next sh*thole of the wordl.
And yesterday the Bundestag has agreed to giving up the federal republic and to stopping respecting the human rights by the German Government.

“Thought crimes.” And ones that don’t exist, even if there is an understandable reason for the thoughts of revenge.
Justice is in very short supply. And it’s real, unlike all of the pretend shortages of consumer goods that are perpetrated for financial gain.
But, True, Divine Justice, is soon to be administered and there will be no mistakes, or miscarriages. The real criminals will be informed of their judgment and it will be carried out in a Just way, and only the guilty will suffer.

Some people don’t realize there own force .However seeing their men on parade in the news I doubt seriously he was one of those people .This wasn’t an accident but murder.

Germany: Muslim migrant murders man, police protect the perpetrator and harass the victim’s father
……………….
*Probation*–for manslaughter or even Second Degree murder? And now police are harrassing the victim’s father and accusing *him* of plotting violence.
Just grotesque miscarriage of justice.

Let this be a lesson to all Germans who don’t realize that Merkel has been admitting their new overlords, to whom the Germans now must bow down in humble obeisance.
