Controversy

Meeting with Saif al-Arab al-Gaddafi

In 2011 Schmidbauer was exposed to public criticism after it was reported in the media that in August 2007 the Libyan embassy in Berlin invited him to a working lunch at the Munich 5-star hotel Bayerischer Hof . The Libyan embassy had complained about criminal investigations by the Munich police against Saif al-Arab al-Gaddafi , a son of the then Libyan head of state Muammar al-Gaddafi . In addition to representatives of the Libyan embassy, ​​Saif al-Arab al-Gaddafi himself also took part in the dinner. Members of the Bavarian Greens accused Schmidbauer that Saif Gaddafi's supposedly good relations with the police headquarters had something to do with the termination of numerous investigations pending against him . Schmidbauer justified his approach with the fact that it was an official invitation from the Libyan embassy and that he had informed Saif al-Arab al-Gaddafi about the legal system applicable in Germany, even if these instructions did not have a lasting effect. In particular, it was not a friendship meeting, as Saif al-Arab al-Gaddafi had demanded diplomatic immunity, police protection and a gun license during the meeting and was very angry about Schmidbauer's immediate rejection of these demands.

The meeting between Schmidbauer and Saif Gaddafi led to several parliamentary questions from the Bavarian Greens. The then Bavarian Interior Minister Günther Beckstein judged the conversation in retrospect as "definitely correct". After reviewing the process, the Legal Committee of the Bavarian State Parliament declared the application to be settled with the consent of all opposition parties.

Interview on assault by police officers

After a handcuffed woman at a police station in the Au - according to statements of the police officers involved in self-defense due to acts of resistance - was seriously injured by a punch, Schmidbauer said in an interview that, from the point of view of this officer, the action of the officer "was the consistent approach was to end that. ”Schmidbauer was sharply criticized for this statement by the Green City Councilor Siegfried Benker and the lawyer for the alleged victim. Chief Public Prosecutor Thomas Steinkraus-Koch, spokesman for the Munich I Public Prosecutor's Office, said that the evaluation of the events was still with the public prosecutor's office and not with the police chief, as this could otherwise be abolished immediately. Schmidbauer justified himself after the criticism by saying that he only wanted to present the official's point of view and not give an evaluation. Due to negative press reports, Schmidbauer and his deputy wrote an internal letter in which both expressed the suspicion that journalists were trying to "shake the credibility of all Munich police officers". The parliamentary groups from the FDP , SPD and Greens strongly criticized Schmidbauer in the Bavarian state parliament , Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) defended the police president. The case against the woman was later dropped, but the police officer concerned was sentenced to a suspended sentence of ten months.
