In the eyes of the law, everyone is equal – but some are more equal than others. Looking away, favoring, covering up: Prosecutors who close investigations with regard to higher interests are not the exception. And if a courageous person is found who wants to shed light on the darkness of corruption and favoritism, financial constraints and overload prevent cases from being concluded – until they are statute-barred. Based on highly explosive cases, the authors show how the third power undermines the rule of law – and what needs to change.

Reviews
“Roth is one of the most prominent investigative journalists on corruption in Germany.” Der Tagesspiegel
“Using scandalous cases, the authors illustrate how the rule of law is being eroded because the judicial system is no longer functioning properly, and prosecutors are either going underground or are entangled in networks with politicians and business leaders. The authors particularly highlight how courageous citizens are fighting against these grievances, but also provide examples of how the civil courage of individual citizens is in danger of being stifled at its inception – because what must not be, cannot be.” Junge Welt
“There are plenty more scandals in this country – it’s that simple to put it. And Roth throws them at the reader, ensuring that no one can ever say they ‘knew nothing about it.’ This is investigative journalism in the best sense: Roth has dedicated his life to tirelessly keeping a watchful eye on those in power.”Frankfurter Rundschau
“Jürgen Roth is one of the best experts on crime in Germany.”
