Germany's top court is reviewing the case of an accomplice to the neo-Nazi NSU terror cell. Prosecutors are hoping to increase his sentence from 2.5 to 12 years.
When the German far-right terror group NSU was uncovered on November 4, 2011, Chancellor Angela Merkel promised a sweeping investigation. But the political will needed for it lacks to this day, says Marcel Fürstenau.
Between 1998 and 2011, a German neo-Nazi terrorist group murdered ten people. They called themselves the National Socialist Underground or NSU, carried out robberies to finance their terrorist cell, and planted bombs to spread terror in Germany.
The trial of the NSU extreme-right terrorist cell took over four years. DW answers five key questions from one of Germany's most high-profile neo-Nazi cases.
