Unlawful SPD Politician Search: Probe into Anti-Merz Graffiti Unjustified
In a surprising turn of events, the Landgericht Arnsberg, a regional court in North Rhine-Westphalia, has ruled that a house search conducted on a young SPD (Social Democratic Party) politician in the Sauerland region on February 28, 2025, was unlawful. The court's decision, made public on August 1st, has caused a stir in the region.
The court's decision was based on the lack of initial suspicion and a vague person description from a witness tip. The court raised constitutional concerns about the lack of documentation of the public prosecutor's office's application for the search warrant. The exact nature of the alleged crime and the current status of the investigation are not mentioned in the provided information.
The unlawful house search and subsequent investigation revolve around Anti-Merz graffiti that appeared in Menden, North Rhine-Westphalia, on January 26. Large-scale Anti-Merz graffiti was sprayed on the facade of a shooting hall in Menden before the then CDU chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz's appearance. The graffiti slogans included "Go away Merz".
It's important to note that Charlotte Merz, the wife of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, is the director of the Amtsgericht Arnsberg, but the court's decision did not specify her involvement in this case. Charlotte Merz first learned of the investigation and the search warrant on September 1, 2025.
The public prosecutor's office is investigating a 17-year-old SPD youth politician due to the Anti-Merz graffiti. However, the court's decision did not specify the identity of the individual under investigation. The location of the house search is not specified in the provided information.
The investigation and the court's decision have been reported by WDR in its magazine "Westpol", although the exact date of the report is not available. The court's decision was not based on the specific nature of the alleged crime or the current status of the investigation.
This incident has added to the ongoing political drama surrounding the Merz family, with Friedrich Merz stepping down as CDU leader in 2021 and later returning to the race for chancellor in 2025. The public will be closely watching how this investigation unfolds in the coming months.
