– A 63-year-old retired German police officer and his 55-year-old wife are suspected of sending threatening emails signed with the name of a neo-Nazi gang, Reuters reports. The man and his wife were detained on Friday but released while police searched their computer storage devices. The emails, which were sent to politicians of Turkish background, were signed “NSU 2.0,” a reference to the “National Socialist Underground” neo-Nazi gang, which murdered 10 people, mostly immigrants, between 2000 and 2007. “Heil Hitler. Yours, NSU 2.0,” tweeted the chair of Germany’s Central Council of Muslims.
