Letter from Munich – the Joseph Affair \u2013 285<\/strong><\/p>\n

EINE DEUTSCHE FASSUNG STEHT WEITER UNTEN. (German translation below \u2013 German language character set required for correct display.)<\/p>\n

Dusseldorf, 13 October 2006<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Graf, dear friends,<\/p>\n

Continuation of the letter of last week (from an article on the World Socialist Website: \u201cDer Tod des sechsjaehrigen Joseph Abdulla\u201d, by Dietmar Henning, 30 November 2000, www.wsws.org\/de\/2000\/nov2000\/jose-n30.shtml):<\/p>\n

\u201cThe accusation that Renate Kantelberg put words in the mouths of the witnesses is hardly comprehensible. The investigating authorities not only have signed statements, but they also have hours of audio and video recordings. Moreover, it is indisputable that the police investigation of Joseph\u2019s death was sloppily done and that numerous leads were not pursued, even though the suspicion that a crime had been committed was widespread, right from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continued next week.<\/p>\n

Sincerely yours,<\/p>\n

Sehr geehrter Herr Graf, sehr geehrte Freunde,<\/p>\n

Fortsetzung des Briefes (aus einem Artikel auf der World Socialist Website: \u201cDer Tod des sechsjaehrigen Joseph Abdulla\u201d, von Dietmar Henning, 30. November 2000, www.wsws.org\/de\/2000\/nov2000\/jose-n30.shtml):<\/p>\n

\u201eAuch der Vorwurf, die Aussagen seien den Zeugen durch Renate Kantelberg in den Mund gelegt worden, ist kaum nachvollziehbar, lagen den Ermittlungsbeh\u00f6rden doch nicht nur die unterschriebenen Aussagen, sondern auch stundenlange Tonband- und Videomitschnitte vor. Es ist zudem unbestritten, dass die Polizei nach dem Tode Josephs schlampig ermittelt hat und zahlreichen Hinweisen nicht nachgegangen ist, obwohl der Verdacht eines Verbrechens von Anfang an in der Luft lag.\u201c<\/p>\n

Fortsetzung n\u00e4chste Woche.<\/p>\n

Mit freundlichen Gr\u00fc\u00dfen<\/p>\n
