BERLIN - A man arrested in Germany on suspicion of murdering a senior local politician known for pro-migrant views was a far-right sympathizer, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office said on Monday.
Police special forces, acting on DNA evidence found at the scene, on Saturday arrested a 45-year-old man in the town of Kassel, about 20 km east of the village of Wolfhagen-Istha where Luebcke was shot. He said there was no evidence that the suspect had had accomplices or that he belonged to a far-right criminal network.Even though politically motivated attacks on politicians are rare in Germany, the case has prompted calls on the government to do more to prevent far-right groups often using the Internet to agitate against Chancellor Angela Merkel’s 2015 decision to welcome around a million refugees, mostly from the Middle East, at the height of the refugee crisis.
Luebcke gave a speech in 2015 in which he advocated “Christian values” such as loving one’s neighbor, prompting at least one far-right publication to call him a traitor and publish his address.
