In these proceedings, the court would have the unique opportunity to show that the constitutional state is determined to disclose and comprehensively clarify failures in its own ranks, state failures, and state involvement in terrorist crimes, and thus also to try to restore trust in state action that has rightly been lost among the victims and their relatives, but also among broad sections of the population.The NSU's crimes were devastating; they destroyed lives, families, circles of friends and livelihoods. But the investigating authorities, media coverage and social ignorance are also responsible for this. That is why many of those affected often mention them in the same breath – the acts of the NSU, their own criminalization and the fact that the right-wing motive was not recognized (by state authorities or the public) all go hand in hand.
– Lawyer Angelika Lex, who represented the family of Theodoros Boulgarides, who was the seventh victom of the NSU to be murdered in Munich on June 15, 2005
