In Hamburg, people are desperately looking for flats. But a radical Islamist family who emigrates to Morocco keeps their flat from the municipal housing association SAGA?
That is exactly what happened with the family of terror suspect Abdurrahman C. (20), who allegedly wanted to kill people with a nail bomb.
The flat is in a plain grey building: three rooms, 69 square metres, 650 euros per month.
The names of family father Hamid C. (51) and his wife are displayed on the door – even though the couple and their four children left Germany five years ago.
How can this happen? Is rent being paid? Is the flat sublet? SAGA does not want to answer any questions – data protection.
One thing is certain: the flat was searched in the course of the investigations against the terror plotter because he was staying there.
Father Hamid – an Islamist who is said to have contacts to al-Qaida – was accommodated there. Reason: He visited his son in custody.
Christian Democratic Union (CDU) justice expert Richard Seelmaecker: “It is significant that it is possible for Islamists under the Social Democratic-Green government to go underground and live unmolested in a flat of the municipal housing company.”
