20.07.2001: 15th day in court
Former BKA officer still with wide gaps in his memory
Today the court dealt with three issues. The examination of the former
BKA officer Schulzke continued.
Among the visitors was the member of parliament Ulla Jelpke (PDS) as an
observer for the support group.
Further issues were Mouslis telephone call while being at the Federeal
Court in Karlsruhe and several applications of the defense.
The examination of Schulzke regarding the identification of the accused
showed numerous gaps in his memory and he retreated to the wording:
"If this is what you found in the files, then it happened this
way". But it also became obvious, that the files are not complete and
that he is responsible for this himself. Talks between Schulzke and Mousli,
that occured at the very end of 1999, regarding his last chance to become
part of the Crown Witness Program are not filed at all. Schulzke, who
didn't leave a very stable impression in court today, and who had some
more files faxed to him yesterday after court from the BKA in Meckenheim,
confirmed at least, that he talked to Mousli about the issue. But he
didn't remember the wording of the conversation.
Questioned about the fact, that he - already in the court case against
Mousli and again in his examination yesterday-stated, that Mousli
,specially regarding "Siggi", didn't know first and family
name, Schulzke couldn't give an answer. He described only in a very
wide way, under what criteria the pictures were chosen before they were
shown to Mousli. "We put people on the list who have connections to RZ
,Red Zora or Autonomous Groups from all over the Federal Republic".
With a certain feeling of relief from all sides, Schulzke, "the
experienced officer of the BKA", was dismissed after his desolate
statements over the last two days.
Again the telephone call, that Tarek Mousli had with his former girl
friend while beeing at the federeal court building in Karlsruhe, was
brought up as an issue of the court case. Councelor Euler, as he had
already done while Federal Prosecutor Monka took the stand in court,
wondered, why O. was never interviewed as a witness, although she might
have some deeper knowledge about the case.
Councelor Kalek filed a motion, in order to test the credibility of the
crown witness Tarek Mousli, to have the filed interviews of the Federal
Secret Service(VS) and Mousli submitted to the court, to find out the
truth. Supported was this motion by conuncelor Studzinsky, who asked for
all the files of prevoius interviews even if they were years old and also
to add the files of the provincial Secret Service from the province of
Schleswig Holstein, Mouslis former residence. A previous application of the
defence, to submit a interview protocol from November 2000, had been
dismissed.
Two other applications of the defence were also dismissed: a motion to
limit the right of Mouslis councelor Birkhoff to acces all files of the
case; and the written correspondence between Birkhoff and the federal
Prosecutor Griesbaum will not be made public.
Councelor Lunnebach filed a application for bail regarding Matthias B,
that might be decided by the evening.
The court case will continue Thursday August 17 at 9:15 (after the
summer break) and is set until January 4th , 2002 , Thursdays
and Fridays.
