Staatsanwaltschaft Itzehoe

The Staatsanwaltschaft Itzehoe (Public Prosecutor's Office Itzehoe) is a German law enforcement agency responsible for investigating and prosecuting criminal offenses within its jurisdiction. It is currently in the news due to its renewed investigation into actor Christian Ulmen following accusations made by his ex-wife, actress Collien Fernandes. Fernandes alleges Ulmen created fake social media profiles impersonating her and used them to engage in sexually explicit conversations with numerous men. She initially filed a complaint against an unknown person in 2024, which was later dropped. However, after media reports detailed Fernandes's accusations, the Staatsanwaltschaft Itzehoe reopened the case, citing an initial suspicion of stalking (Nachstellung). The investigation is ongoing, with the office conducting further examinations of the matter. A parallel investigation in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, related to the same allegations, is currently suspended pending a decision on where the case will proceed.
