On Wednesday, German prosecutors dismissed 19 policemen and suspended another over the chats, which came to light in the course of a separate investigation of an officer in the commando unit who was suspected of sharing child pornography.
“During an evaluation of the suspect’s mobile phones, several chat groups where criminal content was shared by members were identified,” Frankfurt Senior Public Prosecutor Nadja Niesen said in a statement.
This is a sensitive issue in a country where awareness of the Nazis’ World War II atrocities, including the murder of millions of Jews in the Holocaust, remains strong, but where anti-Semitic crimes by far-right supporters have been rising.
