The verdict rendered by the Supreme Court at Naumberg in the case of the instigators of the charge against Rudolph Haas caused great astonishment in legal circles.
The court concluded its disciplinary proceedings against Investigation Judge Koelling, the initiator of the Haas affair, by censuring him. Court Director Hoffmann was transferred to a position of the same rank in another court. This verdict is equal to acquittal.
