The Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) granted leave to file a revision, allowing the defendant's appeal to proceed on the grounds that the case possesses fundamental legal significance. The dispute concerns the disciplinary dismissal or disciplinary sanction of a police officer charged with the possession of child pornography, specifically challenging whether the officer's service-related duties (Dienstpflichten) created a sufficiently narrow professional connection (enger dienstlicher Bezug) to his conduct to justify such measures. The decisive legal basis is § 70 of the Brandenburg Police Act (LDG Bbg) in conjunction with § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 of the Administrative Court Rules (VwGO), focusing on the judicial clarification of the prerequisites for establishing a professional nexus in cases involving severe criminal offenses unrelated to direct job performance.
