MUNICH: German authorities pledged yesterday to help offset additional costs incurred by the families of immigrant murder victims from the postponement of the trial of a suspected neo-Nazi killer cell.
The justice minister of the southern state of Bavaria, Beate Merk, said she regretted the delay’s impact on the relatives after a Munich court said the trial’s start would be pushed back from Wednesday to May 6.
“The important thing for me now is that the victims and their families are sufficiently informed and that they are also offered help with the financial consequences of the decision,” she said.
