In Germany, they decided not to initiate a case because of the secret documents thrown out by the chancellor



The Potsdam Prosecutor's Office will not initiate criminal proceedings against German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his wife Britta Ernst in connection with classified documents thrown into garbage containers, informed Bild with reference to senior prosecutor Wilfried Lehmann.

“We refrained from launching an investigation because there is no information in the documents published in the media that jeopardizes the public interest,” the prosecutor said.

July 22 Spiegel magazine informedthat the neighbors of the German chancellor in the garbage can of the house in Potsdam found documents about the last G7 summit under the heading of secrecy. The transparent bags contained a draft of the speech that Ernst, as Minister of Education of Brandenburg, delivered a few days earlier in the state parliament, a calendar with a schedule of meetings and papers with photographs and "short profiles of partners" of the heads of state and government. In particular, it was clarified that the wife of Mario Draghi, who then held the post of Prime Minister of Italy, avoids the public. The publication clarified that the German Foreign Ministry classified these documents as "secret information - for official use only", and should be disposed of in such a way that the content was not recognizable.

Searches due to secret documents on August 8 passed at the residence of former US President Donald Trump in Florida. The former president noted their irrelevance, calling it a raid, and complained that FBI agents broke into the safe. According to US media, the search was related to documents that Trump took with him after leaving the White House. In particular, it was about papers that could contain classified materials related, among other things, to nuclear weapons.
