Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - State police chief Stefanie Hinz will testify on Monday (1.30 p.m.) in the investigative committee in the state parliament in Stuttgart on the so-called police affair. The committee deals with sexual harassment in state authorities, with the police's promotion practices and with the passing on of a lawyer's letter by Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU). On Monday, Julian Würtenberger, former State Secretary in the Ministry of the Interior, will be questioned again in the committee - he had already testified there last year.
According to investigations, a police inspector who has since been suspended is said to have sexually harassed a police officer in Stuttgart almost a year ago. Interior Minister Strobl was also under pressure for a long time because of the matter - according to his own statements, he had passed on a letter from the inspector's lawyer to a journalist. The investigations against him were stopped against payment of a monetary condition.
