Original Note:
This is a crude understanding of Germany's legal system by a "Journalist". German police cannot "charge" someone. They have to investigate if a crime is reported to them. The doc states that investigation. A court or prosecutor will then charge, if enough proof was found. https://www.hilfe-info.de/Webs/hilfeinfo/DE/Merkblaetter/02-merkblatt_ermittlungsverfahren.html
