Interior Minister for the state of Hesse Peter Beuth said that "unacceptable misconduct" by certain members of the SEK made the dissolution of the unit "unavoidable.".
He called for a completely new leadership culture among the middle and lower levels of the police force.
Now, none were now allowed to perform duties, Frankfurt police chief Gerhard Bereswill explained on Wednesday.
The revelations "make the suspicion of right-wing extremist tendencies of some members of the Frankfurt SEK clear," Beuth said on Thursday.
Hesse state, where the financial hub of Frankfurt is located, has been a particular hotspot of right-wing activity among German authorities.
Threatening emails sent to several people, including a prominent lawyer with a migrant background, were traced back to a police computer in Frankfurt.
In July 2020 in Hesse state, left-wing politician Janine Wissler also received threatening emails after her personal details were accessed via police computers. »
