In 2000, Carsten S. handed over the Ceska pistol, along with a silencer and ammunition, in a derelict building near Chemnitz Central Station.

According to his own statements, Carsten S. first maintained telephone contact in 1997/1998 with Uwe Mundlos, Uwe Böhnhardt and Beate Zschäpe, who were already living underground. S. passed the information on to Ralf W. When the desire for a weapon was communicated, Ralf W. sent Carsten S. to Andreas Sch. He procured the Ceska pistol and sold it to Carsten S. S. then drove to Chemnitz, met with Beate Zschäpe, Uwe Mundlos and Uwe Böhnhardt in a café, and subsequently handed over the weapon in a derelict building.

Carsten S. is the only defendant to have made a full confession and to have apologized to the relatives of the murder victims.
