How Klaus Kandt his felt was drummed out of the police President, made in Berlin already in the round. Only publicly he has never talked about it, as it was, as Senator Andreas hostage (SPD), the authorities chief in the 26. February in his office, ordered and in the interim retired.
Now, Kandt has but passed: In the Holiganbet “picture”Podcast “security for the ears,” says Kandt in on Sunday published the result of an hour and 17 minutes for the first time publicly about his time at the head of the Berlin police, about his future – and a hostage.
“The Senator has always kept his distance”
The handling of the Senator of the Interior with him Kandt referred to as “shabby”. The chair no longer wobbles, “how long”, he noted, says Kandt. “I knew that the Situation is tense.” After the terrorist attack of anise Amri on the Christmas market at Breitscheidplatz, he was never out of the headlines, there is a considerable pressure had been built up. He felt that a hostage had been basically never behind him. For example, as a Senator in may of 2017, announced from the steps of his headquarters in the monastery road in the middle of that he filed a criminal complaint against two police officials. “Normally, I would have heard of the mark. He has always respected the distance,“ says Kandt.

What hits him: He would have even had the opportunity to switch to the Federal Ministry of the interior as inspector of the riot police. For this he would need to know only two weeks earlier that he needs to go. Then he would have been able to apply for a job and good opportunities. “Not even this small gesture was worth it, that I would have had a Chance to fall soft. It had to be this hard Tour,“ says Kandt. However, he did not say interior Secretary Torsten Akmann (SPD) a few weeks before, whom he was politically intended, one should say it to him. But nothing came.
He would have been even more optimistic, because it was foreseeable that the Vice-President is Margaret Koppers, to be attorney General. “I could not imagine, that you take us both at the same time that the authority blank,” says Kandt.
He felt like a “dirty-made cleaning cloth”
In the week before his release, he was sick in bed, but was, nevertheless, called on the Friday before the expulsion in the internal management, in order to receive EU-members. “I was indispensable, and on Monday at 9 p.m. it was sausage,” says Kandt. “A feeling, as if you take an old cleaning rag, it again really dirty power, before discarding him. So, properly exploited, to the last. I was simply indecent, and ugly.“ In the same week, a hostage announced the according to Kandt excellent crime statistics for 2017 – without him. Kandt: “The Phase of the successes I achieved in the office.”
“The terrorist attack could not have been prevented,”
Kandt is also reflected to the lack of personnel in the police, such as broken, the authorities saved had been, how he set up the police, more money and staff got worried. In the shooting affair to toxic fumes and fell ill, officials makes Kandt “no accusations”. And also for the attack on the Breitscheidplatz Kandt, who is now a consultant expresses. Hostage had the dismissal to retirement with the terrorist attacks justified and explained, Kandt stand for the renewal of the police. Of acknowledges shortcomings in the police before the attack, and also immediately afterwards, but says: “in Spite of all the errors that have been made – the attack could not have been prevented.”
