Man tror det er løgn, men den er god nok. For de tysk-kyndige, en stor-skandale under anmarch. Videoen berører en særegen tysk praksis, der har ligheder med stasi-metoderne i det gl. Østtykland: en psykiater erklærer en person for værende tilpas skør, således at denne kan sendes væk på en gale-anstalt.

Gustl Mollath-sagen på engelsk wikipedia:

The case is widely reported in the German newspapers, including SZ (Süddeutsche Zeitung), SPIEGEL, WELT, taz (die tageszeitung), telepolis/heise.de, jungeWelt, and other print media. The Guardian is among the first English language media to publish on this case.

German whistleblower from Nuremberg (Nürnberg in German) who reported about 'black money' (i.e. untaxed, laundered etc. money) transfers from Germany to Switzerland. He was the husband of a HypoVereinsbank employee who was deeply involved in the cases. He sent reports to the bank first, later he also filed charges at the Bavarian prosecution department. The Bavarian prosecution department ignored his reports[1] but instead prosecuted a case of personal charges filed by his former wife. As a result, he has been declared not guilty by reason of insanity, and as a danger to society committed to a hospital for the criminally insane, where he remains to this date (2012). The judgement/sentence was signed in 2006.

As of November 2012, Gustl is still committed to the care of a hospital for the criminally insane in Bayreuth.

On November 27, the Nuremberg prosecutions department announced it would be reviewing Mollath's committal. The review will also examine the appropriateness of the duration that he has been hospitalized for. That same day, the governor of Bavaria, Horst Seehofer (CSU), added a statement to the discussion. From his point of view, the justice system "would be well advised to reevaluate the case from the beginning". On November 28, Frank Streibl from the Freie Wähler, who is raising attention at this case in the Bavarian Parliament (bayrischer Landtag) for a longer period,[9] is still confronted with a majority of delegates (including, as of now, several delegates of the opposition), who prefer to keep that topic out of the Landtag.[10] The CSU has 92 seats[11] in the Bavarian Parliament.
