So I am relatively fluent in german, although it is not my native tongue. I am translating a document, and need help with this sentence:
"Die Staatsanwaltschaft Traunstein hat unter Beteiligung von 9 Staatsanwälten und 23 Beamten der Kriminalpolizei Traunstein am 20. Juli 2006 die Beschlüsse an insgesamt 20 Objekten in Oberbayern und Schwaben vollzogen."
Specifically, I cannot place the meaning of the word, "Objekten." Now I know it is normally translated as "Objects" but I believe in this case it has something to do with state reps or lawmakers. Are there any germans who can help me out?
Here is what I currently believe the meaning to be:
On July 20th, 2006 the public prosecutor’s office of Traunstein carried out the resolutions of altogether twenty ____ in Bavaria and Swabia involving nine public lawyers and twenty-three officials from the criminal police division in Traunstein.
Thanks!

"unter beteiligung" means "with participation" rather than involving. "Objekten" in all probability are physical objects,in this case real estate. So the decisions ("Beschluesse"), are maybe the court-orders to evict people from illegal possession of land or squat-buildings,which explains the help of the police force.

OK, your German is better than mine, but here are some of my thoughts:
people and groups? Are these 20 "Objekten" the same as the 9 + 23 other people? Because if so obviously the math doesn't work unless some of the "Objekten" include more than one person.
I don't like "Objekten" to mean people who are doing something...is it possible from the context that the "Objekten" are the laws rather than the lawmakers.
I would say "a total of" rather than "altogether"--yes I know that's not what you wanted help with, but I do some editing of translations from German to English and I'm much better at that than translations themselves.
Have you asked on Yahoo Clever? (The German Yahoo Answers)

I hope I don't throw you off the track but the way the wording flows impies Plaintiffs. People who had an issue with the others.
