Preliminary proceedings against Muller - Roschach: The General Public Prosecutor of Hessen (county of the Federal Republic of Germany) has opened preliminary proceedings against the German ambassador in Lisbon, Dr. Herbert Muller - Roschach, believed of having rendered assistance in Jews murder. In April this year Muller - Roschach has been heard as a witness in a trial taking place in Francfort and dealing with the murder of 30 000 Bulgarian and Hungarian Jews. At this occassion it turned out that the ambassador was identical with the other Dr. Herbert Muller, who was competent for Jews questions in a department of the Foreign Ministry during the war. After world war II he changed his name ''Muller'' by simply adding ''Roschach". This fact was unknown to the General Prosecutors until the trial . The Ambassador is suspected to have rendered assistance to murder by giving instructions within the Jews department of the Foreign Ministry.
