From 9/11 Encyclopedia:
Mounir El Motassadeq quickly fell under suspicion when German authorities discovered that he had power of attorney over a bank account in the name of Al-Shehhi, Marwan, another former Hamburg student, who was officially aboard the second plane that struck the World Trade Center.
Motassadeq had been registered as a student at Hamburg's Technical University, where Mohammad Atta and al-Shehhi studied.
He was interrogated in October 2001, but denied having
anything
to do with Atta or with terrorism.
German authorities had issued arrest warrants for three other men
thought to have provided logistical help to the
hijackers.
They are 26-year-old German citizen Said Bahaji, 29-year-old Ramsi
Binalshibh (->) of Yemen and 24-year-old Zakariya Essabar of
Morocco.
All three are believed to have fled Germany before or soon after
September 11.
In October 2002 a trial against Motassadeq started in germany.
The prosecutor of this trial is Key Nehm The indictment charging El
Motassadeq (Hamburg) with belonging to a terror group Germany has
issued international warrants for three other cell members,
fugitives Binalshibh,
Ramzi,
seen in Malaysia in June 2001, Said Bahaji, who left Germany eight
days before the attacks, and Zakariya Essabar.
In a coincidence, Binalshibh was arrested by US officials, one
month before the german trial started, but the US
Government
refused to allow german authorities to interrogate him. (->
Binalshibh, Ramsi) Surprisingly, on February 19th, 2003,
Motassadeq received the maximum 15-year sentence "for helping the
hijackers".
Motassadeq always insisted he had no idea of a plot.
