from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieter Romann (born May 4, 1962 in Ahrweiler ) is a German civil servant and lawyer . Since August 1, 2012, he has been President of the Federal Police Headquarters .

Life

After graduating from high school, Romann did military service in the Bundeswehr from 1982 to 1983 . He studied law at the University of Bonn . He passed the first state examination in 1988 at the Judicial Examination Office at the Higher Regional Court in Cologne . In 1990 and 1991 Romann became German champion in karate (weight class up to 70 kg). In 1992 he passed the second state examination. He has been working in the Federal Ministry of the Interior since 1993 . After joining, he was initially concerned with issues relating to service law and then in the Federal Border Guard department with reforming them to become the Federal Police . In 1996 he did his doctorate at the University of Administrative Sciences Speyer on the right and the obligation to remonstrate in civil service law; Detlef Merten and Hermann Hill were reviewers .

In 2000 he moved to the Department of Immigration Law and Policy at the Ministry of the Interior. There he was involved in the formulation of the anti-terror laws and the immigration law . Romann was temporarily seconded to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) .

From 2005 to 2009 he headed the department for basic and operational police matters at the Federal Police established in 2005. Since the end of 2009 he has been head of the Foreigner Terrorism and Foreigner Extremism Division (eight employees) in the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Most recently, in this function, he was responsible for the technical supervision of the BKA and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in the areas of Islamic terrorism and Salafism . In 2010 he organized the admission of two prisoners from the prison camps on Guantanamo in Germany. In mid-June 2012, he coordinated a raid against Salafists in seven federal states .

In 2012, Federal Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich ( CSU ) put the previous President of the Federal Police Headquarters Matthias Seeger into temporary retirement and appointed Romann as his successor.

After the G7 summit in Schloss Elmau in June 2015, Romann had interior minister Thomas de Maizières stored police material at the German-Austrian border without instructions from his superior . In the event of a border closure, at the height of the refugee crisis in September 2015, he could have responded quickly. However, critics accuse him of pursuing his own political agenda. It is an open secret in Berlin that Romann, together with ex-constitutional protection chief Hans Georg Maaßen , rejected Angela Merkel's refugee policy from the start. Both have a very tense relationship with the Chancellor, which is characterized by mutual distrust.

In 2016, Romann complained that the NDR had reported police brutality.

In June 2018, he led the return of the murder suspect Iraqi Ali B . The Iraqi government thereupon complained about illegal actions, since the German police unit had not been given a permit by the Iraqi Ministry of Justice to repatriate the suspect. As a result of a criminal complaint, the Frankfurt am Main public prosecutor's office initiated an investigation against Romann for deprivation of liberty. After the investigation was completed, the Frankfurt am Main public prosecutor informed us in a letter dated January 21, 2019 that this investigation had been discontinued with reference to the jurisdiction of the Federal Police in accordance with Section 170 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

In July 2019, Die Welt am Sonntag published a note in which Romann describes the deportation of the Miri clan chief .
