employees of the ordnance disposal service in Brandenburg and the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) in Berlin are currently the focus of the investigators. Both have committed serious offenses that raise many questions.

In the case of Bernd S. The man has been working in this position since the turn and was previously suspected of representing extremist tendencies. At the end of June, the investigators searched his workplace, his apartment and his mother's house due to an investigation into a violation of the weapons, war weapons control and explosive law. Kilo -way explosives, weapons and ammunition were found. Bernd S. was temporarily imprisoned, but later released under conditions. How it was possible for him to steal these dangerous materials unnoticed over such a long period of time is so far unclear. The Interior Ministry has used an internal inspection group to clarify the case.

In the Rudi G. case, it is an employee of a technical office in the anti-terrorist center of the LKA in Berlin. In April, a car went up on the site of the LKA, whereupon the fire brigade used a water cannon for safety. During the search for the fire site, a sheet steel cabinet was discovered in which 200 cartridges were different, including ammunition, which is used by the precision shooters of the special use command (SEK). It is unclear where Rudi G. stolen this ammunition from. The police emphasize that there is no initial suspicion of a criminal offense and that disciplinary investigations have been completed. There were no searches and other illegal ammunition camps are not known.

The exact background and motifs of the two employees are not yet known, since the police and public prosecutor only issue sparse information. However, the disciplinary investigations are concluded, which indicates that the employees' offenses have been clearly determined. It remains to be seen which further details will come to light in the course of the investigation.

It is terrifying that such incidents could happen to security organs such as the ordnance disposal service and the LKA. The question arises whether there may be deficiencies in the security measures that have enabled employees to remain undetected over a longer period of time. A comprehensive investigation is therefore essential to prevent such offenses in the future.

It remains to be hoped that the internal investigations and the measures initiated will lead to the clarification of these cases and that further similar incidents can be prevented. The safety of the population and the integrity of the security authorities must not be endangered by the misconduct of individuals.
