More legal defeat for the Turkish President Erdogan: The General Prosecutor’s office in Koblenz, the complaint of the head of state in the case of Czech man rejected. The setting of the proceedings on the grounds of lèse-majesté is “true”.
The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has failed in its appeal because of the setting of the Mainz investigations against ZDF-Moderator Jan böhmermann. The General Prosecutor’s office in Koblenz rejected them as unfounded. The to-be-resolved legal questions had been answered by the Mainz public Prosecutor’s office “in the results applicable and in accordance with the case law”.
The decision that a Czech man had committed with his controversial “abusive poem,” not a criminal offence, was not objectionable. The prospects of success of a prosecution are low.
Text about Sex with animals
The satirist had recited at the end of March in the ZDF-show “Neo magazine Royale,” a controversial abusive poem on Erdogan. The Text was, among other things, Sex with animals and child pornography and transported in addition, stereotypes about Turks. With the lecture, the Bohemian man wanted to show according to their own figures the difference between in Germany allowed Satire and prohibited abusive criticism.
investigators see no insult
Erdogan was legally taken action against the “abusive poem,” and had filed a criminal complaint with the charges of insulting a foreign head of state in accordance with §103 of the criminal code. The Federal government had authorized the Mainz public Prosecutor’s office in April to conduct the appropriate investigations. However, the investigation was the beginning of the month.
Mainz investigators justified their decision by the fact that Czech man will not be offended with his speech, the Turkish President a criminal. In the selected poem contained allegations were considered by the investigators recognizable so absurd and exaggerated that they were not to be taken seriously.
in dispute in the Hamburg continues
Regardless of the set procedures in Mainz, there is a further legal battle between Erdogan and the Bohemian man. It is a private complaint by the President against the poem. In the process an oral hearing is in November.
In this procedure was adopted by the Hamburg regional court in may, on the application of Erdogan’s a restraining order against the Bohemian man. The ZDF-Moderator is not allowed to repeat, therefore, the greater part of his poem. But that’s not enough, the Turkish President, apparently: He wants to get the complete poem ban.
