Dr. Gazeas was heard as an expert in the Committee on Legal Affairs of the German Bundestag on the initiative to create a law for the use of undercover police informants in criminal proceedings and on legal questions regarding the provocation of crimes by such so-called police informants.

He has explained the constitutional necessity of creating a legal basis for the use of confidential informants in the Code of Criminal Procedure. Dr. Gazeas described the necessity of creating such a law and defining the legal framework as obvious. There would be no good reason not to create such a law.
