After a first video appeared, in which Melanie Müller can be seen in the circle of some fans showing the Hitler salute and shouting "Sieg Heil", she distanced herself from right-wing ideas. Another clip, however, now speaks a completely different language.
It was only on Tuesday that Melanie Müller declared via Instagram that she did not want to perform tonight in Dresden due to a recently published video, when the next compromising clip appeared. At first, only fans of the Ballermann singer could be seen, who showed the Hitler salute and shouted "Sieg Heil", it is now she herself who stretches her right arm several times.
The 16-second video, which is said to have been sent directly to the "Bild" newspaper, shows how the ex-jungle queen stands on stage in front of the alleged right-wing extremists. First she still has the microphone in her right hand, then she voices a battle cry from the Leipzig football scene with "Ost, Ost, Ostdeutschland", the newspaper reads. Finally, Müller takes the microphone in his left hand while continuing to chant with the fans. The 34-year-old is said to have raised her outstretched right arm in a Nazi salute a total of eight times.
It was initially said that the party at which the first video was made was a private birthday party, but it is now apparently clear that it took place in a bar where the rocker club "Rowdys Eastside" is at home. The "Bild" newspaper quotes a spokeswoman for the Saxon Office for the Protection of the Constitution: "We know that individuals from the Leipzig right-wing extremist hooligan scene maintain contacts there."
While Müller herself has not yet responded to inquiries from the newspaper, her partner Andreas Kunz already commented on Tuesday: "Depending on the perspective from which a video or photo is taken, it can of course quickly look as if it is when the crowd is heating up It's the Hitler salute. That even happened to Angela Merkel."
However, Kunze should not be a blank slate in the neo-Nazi scene either. According to RTL research, he has "a wide-ranging company network. Some of these can be assigned to very shady companies. For example the Asgaard security company, which has repeatedly attracted attention in right-wing extremist activities". He and Müller also visit the SinCity BoxGym, "which we know belongs to the extreme right-wing scene in Leipzig. Anyone who associates with such people is deeply rooted in this scene," RTL continues.
