In the meanwhile, Germany’s federal prosecutor’s office opened its own investigation into Darkazanli’s activities. But this investigation was closed down on July 14, 2006. The prosecutor’s office found that Darkazanli had indeed served “as a contact of various al-Qaeda leaders between 1993 and 1998” and, furthermore, that he had been involved “as mediator, custodian and manager in the international business activities of the al-Qaeda firm’s network.” It concluded, nonetheless, that these “activities that benefited the al-Qaeda organization” did not meet the conditions for prosecution under paragraph 129a of Germany’s criminal code and, furthermore, that “to the degree that he was active on behalf of al-Qaeda, the transactions that he conducted were without criminal relevance.”
