What this is really about

This page does not make the six statements prettier than they are. It shows the sequence of events behind them — with dates and sources.

The trigger: a drag queen, a gala, a previous conviction

All six statements revolve around the same sequence of events. Here it is, with dates.

  • Mario O. uploads child pornography files to a social network Nov 2021
  • Tiergarten District Court convicts him; the fine of €11,200 becomes final Oct 2023
  • Investigators seize 159 child pornography files at his flat 24 Jun 2025
  • He hosts the charity gala "Gemeinsam bunt" at the Theater des Westens 14 Jul 2025
  • First of the six statements by Paul Brandenburg 30 Oct 2025
  • Tiergarten District Court sentences him to ten months, suspended Sept 2026
  • Paul Brandenburg is arrested at the airport 28 Oct 2026

The charity gala took place when the man already had a final conviction for distributing child pornography — and three weeks after investigators had seized 159 such files at his flat.

The patrons of that gala included the Chief of Police of Berlin. The Berlin Police Pipe Band and the Brandenburg State Police Orchestra performed.

That is the sequence of events Paul Brandenburg wrote about.

The six statements

His defence lawyer Markus Haintz published them himself on 30 October 2026, with case numbers. They are reproduced here in full and uncut.

!Show the six statements in full

The statements are in German and deliberately obscene. They accuse Kai Wegner of promoting and protecting a convicted child-pornography offender, using words such as "child fucker" and "a piece of human filth", and they call Berlin's government a government of "child-fucker fans".

These are translations. The statements were made in German; the wording below is an English rendering, and no translation of an insult is exact. The German originals are on the German version of this page.

1 · post of 30 Oct 2025. "Reminder service: Berlin's Governing Mayor @KaiWegner is to this day sending child fuckers into nurseries on taxpayers' money."

2 · post of 2 Nov 2025. "Child-fucker fan @kaiwegner works so closely with his women in the Senate that some of them lie naked beneath him. All perfectly normal in the cesspit of Berlin."

3 · video of 5 Nov 2025 — here the charge is defamation. The phrases prosecuted are "child-fucker-loving head of government", "lowest point of the cesspool that is the CDU and Berlin, that walking dustbin", "a piece of human filth" and "promoting the rape of children with full knowledge and full intent".

4 · post of 14 Nov 2025, charged as insult. "Reminder service for parents: Berlin is governed by child-fucker fans."

5 · post of 15 Nov 2025, charged as insult. Begins "Hypocrites are more pitiful than liars".

6 · post of 17 Dec 2025, charged as insult. "Child-abuser fan (and mayor) @KaiWegner thinks that's fine."

Published by lawyer Markus Haintz on 30 October 2026. Investigation 238 Js 91/26 of the Berlin prosecution service; arrest warrant 348 Gs 3565/26, signed by District Court Judge Dr Fricke.

You do not have to share these statements to see that there is a documented sequence of events behind them.

A court decides on the form — in a trial, not in a cell beforehand.

What his lawyer says

Markus Haintz, attorney, to RT DE on 1 November 2026: even drastic statements are legitimate if they are not entirely made up. Where there are so-called connecting facts, personality rights are not infringed, because this is criticism of power.
