I receive an oral refusal from Senior Public Prosecutor Wachs (OStA)

Notification by Ms Gaedke, the social worker at JVA Moabit correctional facility, together with the prohibition on handing over and the above-mentioned decision, which issued.

Commentary — assessment by Dmitry Bagrash

An oral refusal conveyed by a social worker is not a decision that can be challenged. That is precisely the core issue: without a written decision, there are no reasons, no notice of available remedies and no time limit — and thus no legal remedy either. Here, the form of the refusal was also the obstacle to its review.
