description: "Hans-Georg Maaßen is a German civil servant and lawyer. From 1 August 2012 to 8 November 2018, he served as the President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany's domestic security agency and one of three agencies in the German Intelligence Community. He was removed from his Federal role in 2018 after controversial comments exonerating far right violence, and feeding unpublished intelligence reports to the AfD. He would subsequently claim he was the victim of a far left conspiracy, but admit in 2025 that characterizations of the AfD as a far-right extremist organization were accurate."
