Sachsensumpf (German, literally Saxon swamp) is a catchword for a not yet fully enlightened affair of the alleged involvement of senior figures from justice, politics and business in child prostitution, real estate transactions and related criminal activities in Saxony/Germany, in particular Leipzig. According to another view, it is at the heart an affair about the illegal collection of false or unverifiable allegations and rumors by the department for organized crime (OK) of the Saxony State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz Sachsen - LfV) and the propagation and overvaluation of these accusations by journalists. For reports in favour of the 2nd view see Reiner Burger in the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) 〔http://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/medien/medien-der-sachsen-sumpf-ist-ausgetrocknet-1547373.html〕 and Jens Schneider in the Sueddeutsche Zeitung.〔http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/der-angebliche-sachsensumpf-haltlose-geruechte-ueble-anschuldigungen-1.209508〕 ==Background== On 28 January 1993, the police stormed the brothel 'Jasmine' (German 'Jasmin') in the Merseburger Street in Leipzig, in which underage prostitutes were forced to 'work' during the years 1992 and 1993.〔Thomas Datt, Arndt Ginzel: http://www.zeit.de/online/2008/27/jasmin-chronik〕 The brothel was run by former boxer Martin Kugler. The girls, who were 13–19 years old at that time, were liberated and questioned. They expressed their experiences in the 'Jasmine' differently in relation to Martin Kugler and the hardness of their daily lives. Some of the girls gave consistently on record, that they had been forced by Kugler through intimidation, beatings and rape into prostitution. Martin Kugler was convicted in 1994 for trafficking, in coincidence with pimping, promotion of prostitution and sexual abuse of children to four years and two months in prison. The judge in that lawsuit, Jürgen Niemeyer, said afterwards: 'The ruling was a major concession, but just about acceptable.' 〔Jana Simon, Sigrid Reinichs in the 'Zeitmagazin' (Die Zeit) Nr. 10, März 2012〕 In the same year the head of the legal department of the Leipzig Housing Association (Leipziger Wohnungsbaugesellschaft), Martin Klockzin, was nonfatally shot in Leipzig. The perpetrators were given life sentence for the assault. Detective Chief Inspector Georg Wehling, head of Leipzig's Commissariat K26 against organized crime, however, noted that it had not been correctly ascertained against those who ordered for the assassination attempt. In a new survey of the perpetrators in 2000 they put on record, that Klockzin was a former customer of the 'Jasmine', which he denies. In the course of the proceedings Wehling gave the order to examine the files on the 'Jasmine' case again. Then it was found out, that during the entire process of the Jasmine-complex not once was asked who the punters were. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sachsensumpf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
