My impression:
Hanning was on the right track
with his “frequent” remarks about the role of the “STATE SUPPORT” for Hamburg cell, although it is unclear if he considered Germany itself in this role.
It was a powerful opinion, at odds with the official version of the non-state Al Qaeda, and someone (the true culprits) probably did not like it, because it could lead directly to them.
What followed, looks like a SET UP, the series of traps for Hanning, from his financial ruin (prearranged?) to his various unrelated private investigations which eventually lead to his arrest and current predicament.
Now he is effectively shut off from the world and can talk only to his native BND.
His former boss Gerhard Schroeder looks unconcerned about this, and, to the contrary, rather happy in his meeting with Putin: was this his birthday present?9/11: the missing link – August Hanning – Google AI Mode:
The phrase “9/11: the missing link” refers to a prominent public theory and a series of high-profile statements made by August Hanning, the former head of Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service (BND), regarding the 2001 terrorist attacks. [1, 2]
Hanning, who led the BND from 1998 to 2005, has frequently spoken out about a missing link in the official 9/11 investigations—specifically targeting the logistical and financial state support given to the Hamburg Al-Qaeda cell, which included lead hijacker Mohamed Atta. Hanning has argued that the hijackers could not have lived and operated so seamlessly in Germany without structured, domestic assistance that went largely unmapped by the initial U.S. and German investigations.

Statt dem perversen Elendskyj hinten reinzukriechen und ihn mit unserem Geld zu füttern, wäre es besser Russland und Putin freundschaftlich verbunden zu sein, zu unser aller Nutzen!🇩🇪🇷🇺

NEW: 🇷🇺 Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder attended Vladimir Putin’s birthday party in Moscow earlier this week, according to the Kremlin.
The Kremlin claims Putin learned from media reports that Schröder was in Moscow on a business trip and decided to invite him to the celebration.
Schröder served as German chancellor from 1998 to 2005 and has maintained close ties to Russia since leaving office, including his former roles connected to Russian state energy giant Gazprom.
His relationship with Putin and his continued links to Russian interests have drawn years of criticism in Germany, particularly following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Former BND chief August Hanning, arrested days ago on suspicion of espionage and other serious offences, led Germany’s foreign intelligence service from 1998 to 2005 during Schröder’s chancellorship.

German Chancellor Merz is “shocked” and calls Schröder’s birthday visit to Putin “immoral,” per the government spokesperson today.
CDU general secretary Hoppermann said “shame is hardly the word.”
Kiesewetter called it “betrayal of Europe and of one’s own country.”
The lone defender is SPD’s Stegner, who argued Schröder is one of the few Germans with access to Putin and the visit would be a success if it moved peace “even a millimetre.”Clash Report (@clashreport)Former German Chancellor Schröder visited Putin at home on his 74th birthday.
The Kremlin said Putin spotted Schröder was in Moscow — there for a board seat at Russian supermarket chain Hyperglobus — and invited his “old friend” over on 7 October.
The same day, Russia launched a mass strike on Ukraine killing at least 32 people.
Zelensky called it the birthday “present” Putin gave himself.— https://x.com/clashreport/status/2108486313947099418
