NSU Trial Reaches Final Phase

MUNICH, GERMANY - JULY 03: A sign of defendant Beate Zschaepe, seen during the start of the 437th day of trial on terror charges in connection with the neo-Nazi NSU group at the Oberlandesgericht courthouse on July 3, 2018 in Munich, Germany. Lawyers are presenting their final arguments today in the marathon trial, which is now into its sixth year, before judges give their verdict next week. Zschaepe and four co-defendants are charged in their roles in supporting neo-Nazis Uwe Boenhardt and Uwe Mundlos, who embarked on a murder spree of nine immigrants and one policewoman between 2000 and 2007. The case is among the most embarrassing and scandalous in modern German police history, as investigators failed to connect the murders within a neo-Nazi context until both men died following a botched bank robbery in 2011.
