Workers should be safeguarded against hazards linked to ionizing radiation, according to the suggestion made to the Commission, who were asked to draft a related directive.
In September 2025, the Wuppertal Public Prosecutor's Office and the Wuppertal Police made their first statements about the Solingen arson attack investigation from the previous year. This incident, which occurred in 2024, resulted in the tragic deaths of a young family and severe injuries to several residents. Daniel S., a Solingen resident, was found guilty and is currently serving a life sentence with subsequent preventive detention.
The investigations into the Solingen arson attack have been the subject of scrutiny, with allegations of errors and oversights. The responsible criminal director in Hagen, who conducted the investigative review of the bomb attacks in Solingen, was previously active in Wuppertal. The internal police review of the Solingen arson attack investigations was taken over by the police in Hagen due to neutrality reasons, as Guido Liedke, the head of the Wuppertal Criminal Police, was part of the Hagen criminal police before his move to Wuppertal.
During the course of the investigations, more than 160 photos with Nazi caricatures were found on a hard drive. However, neither these photos could be attributed to Daniel S., and none of the process participants knew about them. Similarly, Nazi literature was discovered during the search of Daniel S.'s house, but these findings did not make it into the court files.
The question of whether Daniel S. acted out of xenophobic motives has been a central issue in the proceedings against him. An expert in the ongoing trial concluded that the Wuppertal fire was arson. One investigator's note classified Daniel S. as "right-wing," which was later changed by hand. Another note went missing and has not reappeared.
The flawed investigations into the Solingen arson attack have resulted in internal reviews. There are already consequences in the work of the police and prosecution as a result of the review. However, neither Guido Liedke nor the Wuppertal police see any neutrality issues in the internal review.
In early 2022, a fire broke out in a Wuppertal multi-family house where Daniel S.'s former partner had previously lived. There were no victims, and the fire department classified the cause of the fire as a technical defect. In another arson case, the Wuppertal police admit mistakes, where there is much to suggest Daniel S. as the perpetrator.
Our website, Court Reporter, is a source of information about the Solingen arson attack investigations. The Wuppertal Criminal Police acknowledge errors in the investigation of the arson attack, and Guido Liedke, head of the Wuppertal Criminal Police, has acknowledged these errors. The police and prosecution are reviewing and will continue to review the investigations into the Solingen arson attack.
The name of the head of the Criminal Police in Hagen who conducted the investigative review of the bomb attacks in Solingen is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results. Despite these challenges, the investigations continue, and the public and the victims' families await the results of the review.
