Wrong alarm: Police revised statement on supposedly xenophobic attack in Saarlouis
police investigated because of fake criminal offense
An allegedly xenophobic attack in Saarlouis has turned out to be a fictitious story. The Saarland police have announced that the incident in which a German Shepherd is said to have been rushed to a Syrian never took place. Instead, the investigation is now directed against the person who has filed the wrong complaint. There is a suspicion of the pretense of a crime.
The police had originally announced in June that a 28-year-old Syrian had been seriously injured in a dog attack and that a possible xenophobic background could not be excluded. But this information turned out to be wrong, and the authorities are now asking the population for information on the incident.False reports on right -wing extremists
Again and again reports on alleged right -wing extremists have proven to be wrong in recent decades. This can be seen, among other things, in a case from 2006, when the murder of the Ethiopian Mulugeta was initially classified as a racist crime, but was later clarified that the crime had a different background.
Likewise, the incident of the "Hetz hunt of Mügeln" in 2007, as well as the reports on "Hetzjagden" in Chemnitz in 2018, which turned out to be wrong afterwards. These cases show how important it is to carefully check information before they are published.
