German neo-Nazi group’s landlord arrested
German police have arrested another suspected supporter of the neo-Nazi terror cell which was allegedly responsible for a string of murders across Germany.
The man was detained in the Erzgebirg district of Saxony on suspicion of providing apartments for the three founding members of the National Socialist Underground (NSU), believed to be responsible for the murders of at least 10 people between 2000 and 2007.
The German public prosecutor’s office accused the man, named only as Matthias D, of helping NSU members Uwe Böhnhardt, Uwe Mundlos and Beate Zschäpe avoid detection by leasing them two apartments in Zwickau in May 2001 and 2008.
The office also claims that Matthias D allowed Böhnhardt to sublet one apartment under an alias as the three committed terrorist acts including murders and bank robberies.
