Collien Fernandes has not submitted any evidence despite being asked to do so.
This overstates what prosecutors said. Potsdam prosecutors had already said in May they opened the case after reviewing information Fernandes had sent them; the later report was about additional/announced evidence, not zero evidence overall.
Full reasoning
The claim says Fernandes "has not submitted any evidence" at all. That is broader than what the reporting supports.
In May 2026, the Potsdam prosecutor's office said it had opened its investigation after reviewing material Fernandes had already sent. PNN/Tagesspiegel reported: "Nach der Prüfung der übersandten Informationen der Anzeigenerstatterin sei ein Anfangsverdacht ... begründet worden". rbb reported the same prosecutor statement: "Nach der ersten Prüfung der übersandten Informationen der Anzeigenerstatterin ist ein Anfangsverdacht ... begründet worden."
The October 12 PNN update did not say Fernandes had provided nothing whatsoever. Its headline said she had provided "keine weiteren Beweise" (no further evidence), and the prosecutor quote referred to "die von ihr angekündigten Beweismittel" that had not yet been provided. That is different from claiming she submitted no evidence at all.
So the post is inaccurate because it removes the crucial qualifier: prosecutors had already acknowledged prior submissions from Fernandes, and the later dispute concerned additional/announced material.

The article headline says Fernandes provided "keine weiteren Beweise" (no further evidence), while the body says the issue was that announced evidence had not yet been provided.
investigating Christian Ulmen for physical & digital violence
This blurs two different stages of the case. Potsdam prosecutors had opened an investigation into alleged physical violence, but for the digital allegations they were still only checking whether there was enough initial suspicion to open an investigation.
Full reasoning
The post treats the physical-violence and digital-violence allegations as if both were already part of the same active investigation. The reporting does not support that.
According to PNN/Tagesspiegel in May 2026, Potsdam prosecutors opened an investigation because they found an initial suspicion of bodily harm. But the same article says the allegations of "digital violence" were still only being examined. rbb reported the same distinction, saying the digital allegations would "weiterhin geprüft" (continue to be examined).
The October 12 PNN update again drew the same procedural distinction: it said the investigation into bodily-harm allegations was ongoing and that prosecutors were still checking whether the digital allegations reached the threshold of an initial suspicion. In other words, the digital allegations were not yet described as a full investigation in the same way as the bodily-harm allegations.
So saying Ulmen was being investigated for both physical and digital violence overstates the status of the digital part of the case.

The October 12 update says the bodily-harm investigation continues, and separately that prosecutors are still checking whether the digital allegations establish an initial suspicion.
