Authority initiates disciplinary proceedings against Attorney General

The judicial authority has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Attorney General Jörg Fröhlich. The authority announced on Friday that he had applied for this himself. With the disciplinary proceedings that have now been initiated, the "considerable allegations against the Attorney General recently raised in the media in a legally regulated procedure" should be clarified. The authority will now appoint an outside person who will conduct the investigation independently.

The case is about the questionable acceptance of St Pauli tickets by today's Senator for the Interior, Andy Grote, who was then the head of the central district office - and the role of the Attorney General. Several media reported on a kind of consultation between Attorney General Fröhlich and prosecutors from the responsible corruption prosecutor's office, which was investigating in this case because of taking advantage of the office.

In addition to Grote, it was also about invitations for police chief Ralf Martin Meyer and the then Senator for Economic Affairs Frank Horch (independent). Internal notes from that meeting revealed that some of the prosecutors were in favor of a search of the three individuals. Otherwise one would expose oneself to the accusation of granting a “celebrity bonus”. Prosecutor General Fröhlich, on the other hand, spoke according to the note of a "leeway for judgment" in favor of those affected, which could be exploited here.

He is also said to have warned of a "political tsunami" with a view to the upcoming state elections in February 2020. Since then, there has been a nasty suspicion of political influence. The judiciary explained that with the procedure, the employer is also fulfilling his duty of care, since the employee is “relieved if the suspicion of a misconduct is not confirmed.”
