Berlin .- The German former Minister of Defence Karl Theodor zu Guttenberg will finally be prosecuted for criminal proceedings for plagiarizing much of the text of his doctoral thesis, a scandal that led to the resignation of all charges on March 1 and the withdrawal of active policy. The newspaper "Berliner Zeitung" reveals today that one of those affected by plagiarism, whose identity remains anonymous, has decided to lodge a complaint against Guttenberg to justice in the town of Hof, in the southern state of Bavaria, for violating the intellectual property.
In turn, the president of the Bundestag, Norbert Lammert, has decided to dismiss criminal charges against Guttenberg, despite having used the scientific service of Parliament for personal matters, not give explanations on the waiver. The Berlin newspaper also published statements of several of those affected by the kidnapping of Guttenberg, mostly university professors and teachers Martin Nettesheim and Roland Vaubel, University of Tübingen.
"Guttenberg seized a third of my articles," says the second one, which, like the rest of the hostages, ex-minister accused of copying large portions of their texts without citing the source. The case of alleged plagiarism prompted the resignation of Defense to the media by Guttenberg, who until then considered potential successor Angela Merkel in the chancellery and cogubernamental future leader of the Bavarian Christian Social Union (CSU).
Guttenberg, Bavarian aristocrat 39 years and until then meteoric political career, he admitted having committed serious mistakes in his doctoral thesis, which he attributed to overwork in an attempt to reconcile family life and public office. The investigative committee of the University of Bayreuth in the meantime has come to the conclusion that Guttenberg misled the Law School to use a range of other texts as one's own.
The University took away the title of doctor in the highest degree of "suma cum laude" shortly after the scandal and was succeeded as the demands of citizens-up to a hundred, according to German media, for alleged fraud against the politician. After his resignation, it has been speculated repeatedly with a return of Guttenberg to the political forefront, given its popularity, and self-chancellor, Angela Merkel, has considered that possibility, although in the medium term.
