"Members of the far-right terrorist group National Socialist Underground (NSU) murdered 10 people, carried out bombings and robbed banks in several German states between 2000 and 2007. In 2018, Beate Zschape, the sole surviving NSU member, was sentenced by the Higher Regional Court in Munich to life in prison, with the court determining a particularly severe degree of guilt. The trial was one of the biggest in Germany's postwar history."
"The Federal Prosecutor's Office charged Susann E., the wife of Andre E., an NSU supporter who was convicted in 2018, with knowing about the murders and assisting Zschape by letting her use her identification documents on several occasions. The defendant is alleged to have provided Zschape, who was in hiding, with train tickets and her own health insurance card, to enable her to see a doctor."
"Susann E. is also accused of helping to rent a motorhome that Zschape's accomplices, Uwe Bohnhardt and Uwe Mundlos, used in November 2011 for their last bank robbery in Eisenach in the state of Thuringia, and in which the two men were found dead shortly afterwards. After Zschape learned of this, she set fire to her apartment in Zwickau (Saxony), which she had shared with her accomplices, to destroy evidence."
Members of the far-right National Socialist Underground murdered ten people, carried out bombings and robbed banks across Germany between 2000 and 2007. Beate Zschape was sentenced in 2018 to life imprisonment with particularly severe guilt; four supporters received prison terms. The Higher Regional Court in Dresden began proceedings against Susann E., who is charged with knowing about the murders and assisting Zschape. Prosecutors allege she provided identification documents, train tickets and a health insurance card, and helped rent a motorhome used in a November 2011 bank robbery in Eisenach. Testimony describes a close relationship between Zschape and Susann E. since 2006.
