Im Fadenkreuz der Stasi
Directed by Nina Rothermundt2017 45m
In general, the state devoted a lot of attention in the GDR to keep crime as low as possible. In each district, there were murder examination commissions with far -reaching powers in the investigation. However, these were also restricted or massively disabled if state security took over the case. Then facts were often covered up and investigators were hindered to protect socialist brother states or not to publicly demonstrate their own state security employees. In any case, that had political priority. Therefore, the criminal police were generally subordinate to the Stasi in their investigative work.
