Employee justice leaked in Chemnitz

Justice in the German city of Chemnitz has suspended an employee who would have leaked the official arrest warrant against a suspect of a stabbing.

The stabbing was Saturday and a 35-year-old German lost his life. A 23-year-old Syrian and a 22-year-old Iraqi have been arrested as suspects. The incident led to protests and riots in the city on Sunday and Monday.

The ordered arrest warrant ended up on the internet via right-wing extremist circles and was then widely shared. The arrest warrant included details of the stabbing and the address of one of the suspects. Justice was embarrassed by the case.

Although Wednesday was quiet in the city, the local police received help from the national police. Various organizations want to demonstrate in the coming days.
