Background:
The Second Committee of Inquiry is investigating the circumstances surrounding the terrorist attack in Dortmund on July 8, 2024. The attack claimed the lives of 30 people and injured more than 100. The committee is tasked with determining whether there were any intelligence failures or other factors that could have prevented the attack.
The committee has already held nine public sessions and heard testimony from a number of witnesses, including the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia and the President of the State Office of Criminal Investigation.
The 10th session of the committee is expected to be particularly important, as it will focus on the testimony of two key witnesses: Doris Ahnen, the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, and Franz-Josef Lersch-Mense, the former President of the State Office of Criminal Investigation.
The committee is expected to question Ahnen about her knowledge of the security situation in Dortmund prior to the attack and about the steps she took to prevent it. Lersch-Mense is expected to be questioned about the role of the State Office of Criminal Investigation in the investigation of the attack and about whether there were any intelligence failures that could have prevented it.
The findings of the committee’s investigation are expected to be published in a report in early 2025.
