In January, Iranian General Soleimani was killed by using a US drone. For the campaign, data flows are said to have flowed through a US base in Germany. Politicians on the left then file criminal charges.

But the federal prosecutor sees no reason for an investigation.
Left-wing MPs have criticized the prosecutor's decision not to launch an investigation into a US drone's killing of Iranian general Qassam Soleimani in #Iraq.

The prosecution is "hiding behind a convenient and shortened legal perspective and thus protecting the responsible members of the federal government," it said in a joint statement.

The politicians had filed criminal charges against Chancellor Angela Merkel and several federal ministers, accusing them of "aiding and abetting the murder".

The background to this were reports and explanations that data streams for US drone strikes run via the US air base Ramstein in Rhineland-Pfalz. This should have been prevented, the left-wing politicians said,

referring specifically to the killing of the Iranian general Soleimani in January. The federal prosecutor's office has now declined to investigate. "With its refusal to initiate even an investigation, the top investigative authority, which reports to the Department of Justice,

signals that it will continue to tolerate unchecked the continuation of the worldwide drone homicide that is illegal under international law, using the Ramstein base," said the federal government the statement by Alexander Neu, Diether Dehm, Heike Hänsel, Andrej Hunko,

Zaklin Nastic, Kathrin Vogler, Andreas Wagner and Hubertus Zdebel. "The drone murders committed by Ramstein in violation of international law must finally be put to an end," it said. Possibilities for further action would be examined.
