The protection of the constitution must restrict data transfer to security authorities

Up to now, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has been allowed to pass on too much secretly collected data about people to the security and law enforcement authorities. The Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe announced on Thursday that these extensive transmission powers are not compatible with the fundamental right to informational self-determination. The Federal Constitutional Protection Act must be revised by the end of 2023 at the latest, until then the provisions at issue will remain in force with restrictions. (Az. 1 BvR 2354/13)

According to the information, a man who was finally convicted in the Munich trial of the terrorist cell “National Socialist Underground” (NSU) had complained. Exactly who was not disclosed.

This constitutional complaint concerned the law on the right-wing extremism file, which refers to the transmission regulations in the Constitutional Protection Act. She had been pending since 2013.
