The § 129 StGB, also known as a “snooping paragraph”., provides education, Supporting and participating in a criminal organization is punishable, whose aim is to commit crimes. Investigations according to §129 rarely serve to prosecute specific crimes. Rather, the structures and organization of the supposed association should be researched.
All stops can be pulled out for this: House searches, Observation, Telephone monitoring, Bugging rooms or online searches. This is, among other things, why the § 129 has long been controversial. For years, criminal defense lawyers and civil society groups have been calling for the abolition of this paragraph without replacement.

We hope to receive information from the invited experts and those affected, Clarification and encouragement for a joint exchange on the question: Should the § 129 be abolished?
