The Public Prosecution Service (OM) is not going to do anything with the report of Nilüfer Gündogan against her old party Volt, party leader Laurens Dassen and thirteen other people. A spokesperson confirmed this to NRCna coverage of the AD† The prosecutor’s office does not consider Gündogan’s report important enough to set up the police capacity necessary to hear “a large number of witnesses”. “As always, the Public Prosecution Service has to make choices,” said a spokesperson.
According to the Public Prosecution Service, the conflict between independent Member of Parliament Gündogan and her old party Volt should not be resolved through criminal law. Gündogan seems to respond to this: she now wants the civil court to provide a solution. the politician writes on her Twitter that the argument of the Public Prosecution Service still offered her “sufficient recognition”, partly because, according to her, the service wrote that “one or more of the persons and or the Volt association have been guilty of libel towards you.”
At the end of February, Gundogan filed a complaint of defamation and slander against her old party, Dassen, and thirteen other individuals after they accused her of transgressive behaviour. Five of the reporters told their story in NRC† Volt suspended 45-year-old Gundogan over the allegations from the faction — a decision that the politician successfully challenged in court. The Volt’s party leadership nevertheless decided to expel her, also because Gündogan refused to withdraw her complaint against the reporters.
