Still, it is interesting that even German media keep talking about the "pause" that never existed.
I really hope that the investigation will be dropped officially. If it will mere be discontinued and put on ice, this would have a really bad psychological effect on Markus and André. Even if it is 99.999% sure that they won't face any repression, having the investigation dropped would be a clear cut, and enable them to be truly relieved.
- thaumasiotes 11y agoWhat's the difference between discontinuing it and dropping it? If it's officially dropped, does that prevent a later prosecutor from restarting it? In the US you'd need a declaratory judgment to deal with the threat of "legal action at some later point". But I think that's a civil law concept -- I have no idea how that would go in criminal law.
