Erfurt (dpa/th) - In the process of a raid in front of the Thuringian State Chancellery, an investigator criticized the poor video quality of the building's surveillance cameras. The faces of the suspects from the attack on a group of young people in the summer of 2020 cannot be clearly seen in the recordings, a police officer said on Tuesday in front of the Erfurt district court. "Only with the recordings: We couldn't have recognized anyone there." In order to be able to track which attacker acted how on the night of the crime, he therefore based his clothing on, among other things.

The public prosecutor's office in Erfurt has accused five men between the ages of 24 and 32 in the proceedings. She accuses them of having participated in the attack on numerous young people in the Hirschgarten about two and a half years ago. The Hirschgarten is a green area and is located directly in front of the Thuringian State Chancellery. All of the accused have since admitted in court that they were involved in the robbery.
