Senator Dirk Behrendt (Greens) has rejected depictions of a desolate judiciary in Berlin. The lament that everything is getting much, much worse, “does not pass the reality check,” said Behrendt on Wednesday in the Legal Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives. Crime in the city has been falling significantly for several years, and the men’s prisons are currently 86 percent full. New judges and prosecutors have been newly hired. “On the whole, we are on the right track.”

The Green politician reacted to the book “Rechtsstaat am Ende” by Berlin Public Prosecutor Ralph Knispel, who sees a failure of the state and internal security in danger. The CDU legal expert Sven Rissmann spoke in the committee of a frightening finding in the book in view of the nationwide lowest clear-up rate of criminal offenses in Berlin. It also describes the fact that DNA traces are not evaluated for months or that suspected rapists or big dealers urgently come out of custody because their trial does not start on time. According to Knispel, investigators are overloaded and capacities are lacking.
