The case was dropped and the prosecutor forced to retired. Sure, would have been better to never have happened, but I don't see any system ever not having some shitty humans.

Its about someone else forced into retirement after doing something unacceptable.

I have a hard time considering it an authoritarian regime as long as those "bad apples" have to feel the consequences. Even if there are way more of them than I'd like.

In case people here didn't notice... germany, like other countries as well, has recently experienced a surge in alt-right populism. The AfD does get unpleasantly many votes, especially in some regions, but so far it seems to get handled reasonably well by the other parties. I personally are more worried about politics in the US reaching some breaking point.
