The first and only witness today was a former \u201ccomrade\u201d of the Kameradschaft Jena who was questioned about the details of Zsch\u00e4pe, Mundlos and B\u00f6hnhardt going underground. Together with Wohlleben\u2019s girlfriend at the time, he had tried to pick up Wohlleben in Erfurt, had procured clothing from Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s apartment and had then driven around in B\u00f6hnhardt\u2019s car in order to draw the police away from those going underground. The precise order of events did not quite become clear as this witness too tried to reveal as little as possible. What did become clear is that the group believed at the time that Wohlleben would also be among those arrested and that he was therefore part of the flight plan. Whether Wohlleben himself planned to go undercover remains unclear as of now. The witness contradicted the claim in Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s statement that she had met B\u00f6hnhardt and Mundlos in his parents\u2019 apartment, where they told her what had been in the garage.<\/p>\n
After the lunch break, the presiding judge posed the questions he wants to ask Zsch\u00e4pe. Her counsel Grasel had announced once more that Zsch\u00e4pe will answer these questions in written form through her counsel Grasel or Borchert.<\/p>\n
Most of the questions concern details in her written statement, but some also concern alcohol and drug use and illnesses. Above all, the presiding judge asked about the political ideology of Mundlos and B\u00f6hnhardt, about friends, political contacts and supporters. Another focus was the alleged dispute between Zsch\u00e4pe on the one hand and Mundlos and B\u00f6hnhardt on the other after they had told her about the murders and attacks. G\u00f6tzl also asked about plans to emigrate to South Africa and about Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s contacts to Nazi advocate Eisenecker, whom she claimed to have told about the robbery at a supermarket in late 1998 and the previous crimes and who had stated that she was facing an eight- to ten year prison sentence.<\/p>\n
The presiding judge thus asked only relatively few questions which suggest themselves based on the text of the statement. He apparently does not want a long-drawn game of written questions and answers. The other parties only \u201cput down\u201d very few questions \u2013 after all, counsel Grasel had announced that only questions of the court and the co-accused would be answered. Many victims\u2019 counsel stated that they wished to answer questions, but first wanted to hear what Zsch\u00e4pe had to say in answer to the court\u2019s questions.<\/p>\n
Grasel announced that the questions posed today will be answered in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
