Unlawful exploration of a young SPD politician - Illegitimate Search Conducted on a Young SPD Politician
In a series of events that have caused a stir in the Sauerland region, an investigation into large-scale anti-Merz graffiti has been underway since January 2025. The graffiti, which included slogans like "Go away Merz", was discovered on the facade of a shooting hall in Menden (Märkischer Kreis), where the then CDU chancellor candidate, Friedrich Merz, was due to speak.
The public prosecutor's office is currently investigating a 17-year-old SPD up-and-coming politician in connection with the graffiti. The search warrant for the young politician's home was issued by the Arnsberg Local Court and executed on April 1, 2025. The search resulted in the seizure of a laptop, a mobile phone, and several notebooks.
However, the annulment of the search warrant by the 2nd Large Juvenile Chamber of the Regional Court on August 1, 2025, has raised concerns. The annulment was due to a lack of initial suspicion and concerns about the lack of documentation for the public prosecutor's application. Generalsekretär Frederick Cordes of the SPD criticized the targeting of a minor for a home search based on an anonymous letter and an unreliable witness statement.
Charlotte Merz, the wife of Chancellor Friedrich Merz, is the director of the Arnsberg Local Court. She first learned of the investigation and the search warrant on September 1, 2025. The NRW SPD has demanded a thorough investigation into the incident.
The exact nature of the 17-year-old's involvement in the graffiti incident remains unspecified in the article. The investigation by the public prosecutor's office in 2025 focused on a person named Max Becker in connection with the controversial anti-Merkel graffiti in Menden.
The ruling was reported by WDR in its magazine "Westpol", but the article does not provide any information about the current status or outcome of the investigation. The unlawful search has cast a disturbing light on the proceedings of the police, public prosecutor's office, and the court, according to Cordes.
