Is there any reason that Wikimedia does not mention the name of the person in question? Historically, Wikimedia has been in favour of free speech to the detriment of all else, so it can't be out of consideration to the article's subject.
Probably to discourage a witch hunt. The ire here shouldn't be directed towards the individual, who operated within the German legal system, but the courts themselves. Also I'm not sure what you're basing the latter part of your comment on. It doesn't really seem to match my understanding of the history of the project.
