Neo-Nazi Stickers at the Crime Scene

Shortly after the NSU’s crimes became known in early November 2011, remnants of neo-Nazi stickers were discovered on the downpipes of the building in which Abdurrahim Özüdoğru had been murdered in 2001. The stickers belonged to the “Fränkische Aktionsfront” (F.A.F.), which had been banned by the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior in 2004. The leader of the F.A.F. was the neo-Nazi Matthias Fischer, who at the time lived in Nuremberg and whose name and phone number also appeared on the “garage list” of the later NSU terrorists. Because the police investigators were not looking for neo-Nazis at the time, such connections could not be established. The question of whether the stickers were already attached to the downpipes at the crime scene on Siemensstraße/Gyulaer Straße in Nuremberg at the time of the murder of Mr. Özüdoğru was never clarified.
