The National Socialist Underground (NSU) murdered 10 people and was behind bombings and bank raids in the early 2000s. A report on intelligence failures, meant to stay secret for 120 years, has now been published.
The dossier also found that more than 500 files linked to far-right extremism had simply disappeared.
Hardly surprising, given that it's frequently impossible to say where the nazi orgs end and the Verfassungsschutz (the intelligence agency supposed to keep an eye on them) begins.
For example, one of their agents, Andreas Temme, was present at the site of one of the NSU murders, when Halit Yozgat got shot in his internet café. He was there while the murder happened, claiming not to have heard the suppressed shot and not having seen the body bleeding out behind the counter as he left the place. The entire story is full of things like that, and it's an open secret that the NSU was more than just three people, that they had people supplying weapons, passports and money to them, that what they did was known in the militant neonazi scene etc.
