Military authorities in Saxony-Anhalt ponder over potential inquiry into the employment of military police within the regional parliament
Controversial Police Raid on Saxony-Anhalt State Parliament Under Investigation, No Investigative Committee Established Yet
A controversial police raid on the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament, which took place in early July 2025, is currently under investigation by the general prosecutor Heike Geyer. The raid, conducted by over 100 armed police officers, has sparked debate among key politicians who are seeking clarification regarding the deployment of police officers during the operation.
The ruling coalition of CDU, SPD, and FDP is discussing the possibility of setting up an investigative committee to provide clarity on the methods used during the raid. However, it is important to note that this potential committee would not be responsible for the investigations into suspected illegal salary supplements, which the raid is believed to be in response to.
The focus of the proposed investigative committee would be on the chosen means of obtaining evidence, not the prosecutorial investigations. The committee, if established, would not involve the prosecutorial investigations team.
The state parliament president, Gunnar Schellenberger (CDU), has protested the procedure of the raid to the general prosecutor Heike Geyer. Key politicians see a need for clarification regarding the deployment of police officers, as they consider it to lack proportion and balance.
As of the current date (August 24, 2025), no publicly documented investigative committee discussions or outcomes regarding this controversial police raid in the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament are found in the provided sources. The state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt was viewed from the air in a photo, but there are no relevant recent details about an investigative committee discussion specifically in the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament following the raid, nor about the latest developments or findings related to such an event.
Other sources address unrelated security or political topics in Germany or other federal states, without details on a Saxony-Anhalt parliamentary response or investigation findings on the police raid. It is crucial to note that the sources do contain general references about security incidents in Saxony-Anhalt, such as suspected cable sabotage investigated by the police and state security in early August 2025, attributed possibly to left-wing extremists, but these do not mention parliamentary investigative committees or police raids under scrutiny.
Therefore, additional or more specific sources may be required to obtain up-to-date information on the status and findings of the investigative committee, if established, and the controversy surrounding the police raid on the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament.
