The Saxon State Criminal Police Office (LKA) is to have a third special commission for politically motivated crime. Its focus will be on Islamism and other religious ideologies. LKA spokesperson Kay Anders confirmed that plans for the new Soko are underway. The "Freie Presse" had previously reported on this. So far, Saxony has special commissions on right-wing extremism (Soko Rex) and left-wing extremism (Soko Linx).
"We are looking into setting up a special commission on Islamism because we are seeing radicalization in this area and there have been a number of Islamist-motivated attacks, especially around the time of the federal elections," Denis Kuhne, head of the state security department at the State Criminal Police Office, told the newspaper.
