Otto Frank
Nazi sympathizer Ernst Römer accused Otto Frank of editing and fabricating parts of Anne's Diary. Otto filed a lawsuit against him. Much like all the others before him, the court determined that the Diary was authentic. Römer ordered a second investigation, but this time involving Hamburgs Federal Criminal Police Office (Germany) (Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) ). It was revealed that parts of her Diary were written with Ballpoint pen ink, which did not exist prior to 1951. These parts were two scraps of paper not attached to the manuscript,and some page numbers, presumed to be added by Otto Frank when compiling the Diary. Reporters were unable to reach out to Otto Frank for questions as he died around the time of the discovery.
