We present a statistical analysis of polarized near-infrared light from Sgr A*, the radio source associated with the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The observations were carried out using the adaptive optics instrument NACO at the VLT UT4 in the infrared K-s-band from 2004 to 2012.
