Attempting to translate the statement: "The attorney general Harald Range intends to rest his investigation for the time being. Considering the importance of the freedom of press he is refraining from executive measures allowed by the code of criminal procedure."
I wouldn't call that a "stop of investigations". It's more like an attempt at backpedalling without completely loosing his face :)

Or wait until there is something more newsworthy occupying the rest of the journalists and then re-open the investigation.
Nothing has changed. They are waiting for the same legal report today as they were waiting for yesterday. This is just PR.
They are not stopped, they are only paused, if anything.
"stopped" is was the article says.
I don't believe it either, just didn't have other sources ;)
