After Termination of Investigations in Pilnacek Case: Justification Published
In the handover of Pilnacek's phone to the lawyer of Pilnacek's widow, who subsequently destroyed the phone with a blowtorch, "neither objectively nor subjectively" could abuse of sovereign powers be assumed, according to the publicly released reasoning for the discontinuation.
Reasoning after Discontinuation of Investigations against Police Officers in Pilnacek Case
Both police officers "rightfully" assumed that Pilnacek's death was a suicide. It cannot be assumed that they knowingly neglected their duty to investigate the truth as to whether the death was caused by a criminal act. The officers did not seize Pilnacek's belongings through sovereign command or coercive power; they were voluntarily handed over to them. Unlawful influence by superiors is also not demonstrable.
