After the arrest of a fourth suspect on Sunday, there is speculation that the neo-Nazi group calling itself the National Socialist Underground may have been bigger than initially suspected. According to investigators, Holger G., who apparently helped the group with documents and vehicles, was a well-known member of the far-right scene in Hanover.

The revelations about a Zwickau-based neo-Nazi trio who apparently carried out a series of murders over a period of years have shocked Germany. Now there is much speculation about the role of Holger G., the possible fourth member of the group.

Holger G. was arrested on Sunday and brought before a judge at Germany’s Federal Court of Justice on Monday, who ordered him to be detained in custody. The German Federal Prosecutor’s Office, which has now taken charge of the investigation, wanted Holger G. detained on suspicion of membership in a terrorist group. However the court’s investigating judge only authorized G. to be detained on suspicion of supporting a terrorist organization.

Holger G. is suspected of helping a neo-Nazi group calling itself the National Socialist Underground (NSU) which is thought to be responsible for a 2000-2006 murder series dubbed the “doner killings” as well as the 2007 murder of a policewoman in Heilbronn.
