Hubert Weber (10 May 1929 – 25 November 2017) was a German lawyer and politician of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).
Career
[edit]Weber was a member of the Bundestag's finance commission.[1] He refuted claims reported in a story by Bild am Sonntag that trade and economics relations between West Germany and the Soviet Union would only benefit the Soviets.[1] Describing the data cited by the newspaper as a "blatant falsification" and adding that West German companies had for several years sought to maintain offices in the Soviet Union.[1]
Following the events of the German Autumn in 1977, Weber praised the introduction of the "No Contact Act" which blocked contact between RAF prisoners and their defendants.[2] The ban had already been enforced as the country was in a "justifiable emergency" which Weber disputed stating that the country was "not in a state of emergency" and that the courts should not strain the legal definition of an emergency.[2]
