“Reichsbürger” raid! Berlin judge led away in handcuffs

By Matthew Becker

Judge Birgit Malsack-Winkemann (58) sat for the AfD in the German Bundestag. The lawyer agitated against refugees and protested loudly against the Corona policy. Now she is mute!

Because early Wednesday morning at 6 a.m., investigators from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) stormed their terraced house in Wannsee. Arrest warrant!

The reproach: According to the Attorney General, the judge belongs to a terrorist alliance of Reich citizens that was planning to overthrow the federal government. It is the inglorious end of a constitutional opponent!

your life: The lawyer lives in Wannsee in a two-storey terraced house. Until 2017 she was a judge for construction at the Berlin Regional Court. With the election to the Bundestag, she moved into parliament for the AfD Steglitz-Zehlendorf. Malsack-Winkemann fought against Corona rules, defamed refugees.

But after the four-year electoral period, it was over in the Bundestag. In March 2022 she returned to the Berlin district court. Against the will of Justice Senator Lena Kreck (41, left).

Her employer wanted her to be forcibly retired on suspicion of interference with her independent work as a judge. The senator failed – the administrative court in Berlin had rejected the application of the Senate Justice Department in October.

But now the judgeship is over!

After the SEK stormed her house, Malsack-Winkemann was taken away in handcuffs on the basis of an existing arrest warrant. BKA investigators took mobile phones, computers and written documents with them.

The arrest warrant is to be announced to her in Karlsruhe on Thursday.

Justice Senator Lena Kreck sees herself confirmed by the arrest of Malsack-Winkemann. In her opinion, the lawyer is a “highly dangerous person.” And further: “This is a person who should no longer work as a judge.”

On Wednesday, an urgent order was announced that the judge was leaving the civil chamber 19a responsible for construction matters at the court.
