This statement about Ferat Koçak has just been sent by the left party chairpersons Ines Schwerdtner and Luigi Pantisano to officials of the party. Source: @welt "Dear comrades, In the coming hour, an article will be published in Die Zeit in which Ferat lays everything bare regarding the Remmo case. He himself wants to comment on it afterward. We are in close contact with him regarding the events and the political consequences. Because it is clear: he made a mistake, but he is not suspected of organized crime. Despite all legitimate questions, dissatisfaction, and solidarity: we ask you not to publicly escalate everything further, the situation is already difficult enough, especially for Berlin. Please hold back until he speaks for himself and rather address us directly." Luigi and Ines (translated)
