from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anis Ben Othman Amri ( Arabic أنيس العامري, DMG Anīs al-ʿĀmirī ; * December 22, 1992 in Tataouine , Tunisia ; † December 23, 2016 in Sesto San Giovanni , Italy ) was a Tunisian criminal and Islamist assassin who had been convicted on several occasions .

During the attack on the Berlin Christmas market at the Memorial Church on December 19, 2016, he murdered the driver of a semitrailer truck , took control of the vehicle and drove it to the Christmas market at the Memorial Church . Eleven people died and 55 others were injured, some seriously. During the Europe-wide manhunt Amri was on 23 December 2016 a security check on the Square on May 1 in Sesto San Giovanni north of Milan shot dead by two policemen.

Life

Tunisia

Anis Amri was the youngest of the nine children of Mustafa Amri and Nour Amri (Nour al-Huda Hassani). The family moved to Oueslatia shortly after his birth . Amri grew up with his five sisters and three brothers in great poverty in the village with around 9,000 inhabitants, which was considered a stronghold of Salafism . The mother worked as a domestic help, the father, originally a farm laborer and physically handicapped after an accident, supplied vegetable stores with a donkey cart. The parents' marriage fell apart and they have been separated ever since.

According to his own statements, neither he nor his family were particularly religious. "It didn't matter to him whether his sisters wore a headscarf or not, whether we prayed or not," said Amri's sister Najwa about her brother. She never spoke to him about religion. “Anise was never religious. He drank, he partied, he listened to pop music. He was a completely normal boy. "

At age 15, Amri dropped out of school, did odd jobs, slipped into crime, and committed multiple thefts and drug offenses. In 2010 he stole a truck. In 2011, with the help of smugglers and with financial support from his family, he fled to Italy, where he applied for asylum . A court in Kairouan sentenced him in absentia to five years in prison for robbery.

Italy

According to the Italian Ministry of Justice, Amri came to Lampedusa by boat during the Arab Spring in 2011, like tens of thousands of young Tunisians . On April 5, 2011, his illegal entry into the EU was registered by the police. End of March 2011, the then Prime Minister allowed Silvio Berlusconi 6000 campierenden there refugees to Sicily to come or to mainland Italy.

Amri incorrectly gave 1994 as his year of birth, so he was considered a minor unaccompanied refugee. He first came to the Catholic foundation Instituto Giovanna Romeo Sava in Belpasso , where he attended a public school. According to La Stampa, he terrorized his classmates there and was violent. Amri and four other Tunisian refugees protested against allegedly bad food, insufficient allocation of cigarettes, alcohol and phone cards and the long duration of the asylum procedure. On October 22, 2011, the five set fire to rooms in the home and beat an educator. There was property damage of around 30,000 euros. Amri, then 19, was sentenced to four years in prison for assault and arson and was imprisoned in Catania . He was repeatedly transferred to other prisons because he threatened, harassed, beat up, attacked guards, and ravaged his cell. In September 2014 he was taken to Palermo, first to Pagliarelli Prison, then in January 2015 to Ucciardone Prison , the last stop before his release on May 18, 2015. The prison department in the Ministry of Justice reported to the committee after Amri's release from custody for Strategic Anti-Terrorism Analysis ( Comitato di Analisi Strategica Antiterrorismo - CASA ), which reports to the Minister of the Interior, on details of his detention. Amri has already shown signs of radicalization and rapprochement with the ideas of Islamist terrorism. He is said to have threatened a Christian fellow prisoner: "I'll cut your head off."

On May 18, 2015, his detention ended and he was transferred to the Identification and Deportation Center in Caltanissetta . The deportation to Tunisia failed because, according to the Italian authorities at the time, the Tunisian government had declared that Amri was not a Tunisian and therefore refused to issue identification papers. In fact, the Tunisian consulate in Palermo had already officially sent Amris' birth certificate, issued on June 24, 2011, to the Italian authorities. Amri's identity was thus clarified and his deportation to Tunisia was possible, but it was not initiated. On June 17, 2015, Amri was released again on the condition that he should leave Italy within seven days. Italian security circles reported that the domestic intelligence service AISI ( Agenzia Informazioni e Sicurezza Interna - dt .: Authority for Information and Internal Security) monitored Amri after his release with the aim of recognizing the Tunisians, who were already recognized as radical Islamists, on their expected path into the Italian jihadist scene observe. However, surveillance failed when Amri was lost sight of due to a breakdown. The Italian authorities reported that they submitted all relevant information, for example about Amri's conviction, his behavior in detention and the failed deportation, to the Schengen Information System (SIS).

Switzerland

Amri stayed in the Schengen area . He initially entered Switzerland illegally and stayed there until he left for Germany in July 2015. He hid underground and was neither registered nor recorded by the Swiss authorities. Because of his radicalization in the Italian prisons, it can be assumed that he made contact with Salafists in Switzerland during this time. These had connections with Salafists in Germany, including Hildesheim. In Switzerland, Amri is said to have obtained the pistol with which he shot the Polish truck driver and which he carried with him in Milan. From February 2016 Amri used a Swiss cell phone and a Swiss prepaid SIM card that were registered under a different name. Amri's accomplice, the Tunisian Bilal Ben Ammar, also applied for asylum in Switzerland on October 14, 2014. Ten days later he withdrew his application. After that his track was lost (in Switzerland). It wasn't until July 17, 2015, when he too entered Germany, that Ben Ammar reappeared.

The Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office announced that in connection with the attack in Berlin they had opened criminal proceedings against unknown persons on suspicion of support or involvement in a criminal organization and membership in a terrorist militia such as the Islamic State (IS) and related organizations.

Germany

Accommodation in Germany

Amri entered Germany illegally on July 6, 2015, when the refugee crisis began. He reported to the Freiburg-Nord police station, stated that he came from Tunisia and wanted to apply for asylum. His name is "Anis Amir" and he was born on December 23, 1993. As it turned out later, Amri was in possession of a Tunisian passport, but he did not present it.

Amri was registered under the name "Anis Amir" in Freiburg and treated with identification services. By rotating the letters “Amir”, the officers who subsequently looked under this name in the Schengen information system to see whether there was anything against him received no warning. If they had entered Amri's real name, the information that the Italian authorities had entered into the information system two weeks earlier would have appeared that Amri was a criminal who was already imprisoned in Italy and was to be deported to Tunisia. In other words, a violent perpetrator "who is to be refused entry or residence in the Schengen area". Now on July 28, 2015 he received a certificate of registration as an asylum seeker (BüMA) and was referred to Karlsruhe . At the same time, an investigation into unauthorized entry into the federal territory according to the Residence Act was initiated. On July 31, 2015, the proceedings due to unknown whereabouts in accordance with Section 154f of the Code of Criminal Procedure were initially discontinued and Amri was advertised to determine the whereabouts. At this point, Amri was already in Berlin to be registered again.

Six days later he received another BüMA from the Central Reception Center in Berlin under the name "Mohammad Hassan" and was asked to report to the responsible reception center in Dortmund. On July 30, 2015 Amri appeared at the Central Immigration Office in Dortmund, where a third BüMA in the name of "Mohamed Hassa" (born October 22, 1992 in Cafricik / Egypt) was issued. On August 4, 2015, Amri was assigned to the Central Accommodation Facility (ZUE) Hemer by EAE Dortmund due to lack of capacity and referred from there to ZUE Rüthen .

On August 18, 2015, the Arnsberg district government was assigned to the Kleve immigration authority. Kleve sent him on to a refugee shelter in Emmerich , in the Kleve district . The immigration office in Kleve was responsible for him until the end.

Early warnings

Already on October 27, 2015, the Kleve immigration authorities informed the police about the testimony of a roommate of "Mohamed Hassa", who was staying in Emmerich, that he had "photos of people dressed in black, armed with automatic weapons ( Kalashnikov ) and posing with hand grenades " on his mobile phone “, Have looked. The Krefeld police then initiated a "test case of Islamism". However, she did not succeed in assigning the alias "Mohamed Hassa" to Anis Amri. In a chat from 2016 he is said to have used the word do [u] gma as a metaphor for “suicide attack”.

On the go with (at least) 14 identities

In the following years, Amri traveled unhindered through the Federal Republic and applied for asylum or social benefits under at least 14 different aliases, e.g. B. in Berlin and Oberhausen. On October 28, 2015, Amri contacted the ZAB Dortmund. There he was issued a BüMA to the alias personality "Ahmed Almasri" (born January 1, 1995). As such, he was assigned to the central accommodation facility (ZUE) in Neuss and from there to the community of Bestwig . The very next day, Amri reported to the Münster registration office (Arnsberg district government - Münster branch). Here he was given another BüMA - again as "Ahmed Almasri" (born January 1, 1995) - with the note that it is only allowed to take up residence in Oberhausen. Amri stayed in Oberhausen until March 18, 2016 as "Ahmed Almasri".

Contacts to the radical Salafist scene

Shortly after his arrival in North Rhine-Westphalia , Amri made contact with the Salafist-jihadist network around the Iraqi hate preacher Abu Walaa in Hildesheim . Walaa, who mainly operated from the Deutschsprachigen Islamkreis Hildesheim eV, founded in 2012 , but also preached via online platforms such as Facebook , Youtube and telegram , was classified as a threat in 2015 in North Rhine-Westphalia and was considered a central figure in the IS recruiting network in Germany by the security authorities. After several years of observation by the Lower Saxony Constitutional Protection Office , under the (factual) direction of the Attorney General, the State Criminal Police Office of North Rhine-Westphalia investigated Abu Walaa and alleged helpers for recruiting young Muslims for jihad . The investigation went under the name "EK Ventum" - Investigation Commission Ventum.

Walaa's network with diverse connections to numerous other German cities also included the German-Serb Boban Simeonovic (alias Abdurrahman) in Dortmund, who, according to the Federal Prosecutor's Office, had the task of “teaching like-minded people and those wishing to leave the Arab world as well as radical Islamic content . The lessons served to create the ideological and linguistic basis for future work at the 'IS', especially for participating in combat operations. ”During his stay in Dortmund (January 22, 2016 to February 12, 2016, end of March 2016 , August 11, 2016 and until August 18, 2016 and November 9, 2016, after the arrest of Boban Simeonovic), Amri is said to have lived with Simeonovic for a time and even appeared as a prayer leader in various Dortmund mosques. As of February 17, 2016, the Dortmund police headquarters classified Amri as a "threat to North Rhine-Westphalia".

The Turk Hasan Celenk, a self-appointed imam from Duisburg-Rheinhausen, who is also said to have radicalized young people and recruited them for IS, was also part of Walaa's network.

When, in the summer of 2015, a small, conspiratorial group in the mosque of the German-speaking Islamic group in Hildesheim in Hildesheim ( Lower Saxony ) spoke about possible attacks in Germany, Amri was already among the participants. He also belonged to a group that was trained for the fight in Syria. But because attacks in Germany were preferred to emigration to Syria, Amri also decided to stay in Germany. As part of the investigation against Abu Walaa, the LKA NW smuggled an informant into its network. This informant reported on November 19, 2015 that a certain "Anis" wanted to "do" something in Germany, on November 25 that this "Anis" claimed that he could "easily get a Kalashnikov in Napoli" December, that “Anis” wanted to buy Kalashnikovs in Paris in order to commit attacks in Germany.

As early as November 26, 2015, the LKA NW had suggested to the Federal Public Prosecutor General (GBA) to monitor the telecommunications of Amri (TKÜ) in order to obtain further information about the nucleus of the cell around Walaa, which the GBA also initiated. Amris Telekommunikation was monitored from December 2nd, 2015 to May 26th, 2016 (from then on it was no longer legally permitted according to LdsKD Dieter Schürmann (MIK)).

Amri was not treated as a suspect in the investigation against Walaa, but only as a contact person, as a so-called news (via) medium and, according to Ralf Jäger , Minister of the Interior and Local Authorities (MIK) in North Rhine-Westphalia, as completely unimportant: " If one imagines an organization chart with several dozen people in the middle of which the accused [Walaa et al. a.], the person Amri, who was in contact with this cell in the meantime, is written somewhere in the upper right corner. "

When Abu Walaa and four of his employees were arrested on November 8, 2016 for forming a Salafist-jihadist IS recruiting network, nothing was done against Amri because he was not counted among the inner circle of the hate preacher and LKA Berlin and the Federal Ministry of the Interior ( BMI) assessed him as harmless at this point (no intensive Islamist activities, activity in the area of ​​general crime, alcohol and ecstasy consumption, no regular visits to mosques or participation in slaughter).

Asylum application - rejection - procurement of passport replacement papers

On April 28, 2016 Amri applied for asylum in Dortmund under the name "Ahmed Almasri" (born January 1, 1995, Tunisian citizen) and was processed by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees . During the AFIS query in the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), Amri's numerous (up to then eight) aliases became known. As a result, Amri was entitled to payments under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act . In cooperation with the Security Conference of North Rhine-Westphalia and the BAMF, efforts were made to accelerate Amris' asylum procedure ("Prioritized processing of asylum procedures").

On May 30, 2016, Amris' application for asylum (under the alias name "Ahmed Almasri") was rejected as obviously unfounded, on June 11, 2016 the decision came into force. On June 16, the foreigners authority responsible for Amri in Kleve was informed about Amri's status by the BAMF. Since then, Amri has been obliged to leave the country. On August 16, 2016, he received a toleration from the Klever immigration authorities, valid until September 16, 2016.

On August 19, 2016, NRW reached an agreement with Berlin that despite Amri's predominant stay in Berlin, the procedure for terminating his / her stay (in particular the procurement of passport replacement papers / PEP) should continue to be pursued by NRW. A deportation would only be possible if Amri's identity could be clearly clarified, Tunisia accepted the withdrawal and would issue the necessary passport replacement papers / PEP.

Due to incomplete documents, no passport substitute papers could initially be applied for from the Tunisian authorities, since in addition to the regularly collected identification data (fingerprints, biometric photo), palm prints were also requested for clear identification. These were Amri only when he was arrested in Friedrichshafen / Ravensburg Prison (JVA) on July 30th / 1. Accepted August 2016, sent from the Ravensburg JVA to the ABH Kleve and from there to the ZAB in Cologne. Only then was PEP applied for at the Tunisian Consulate General in Bonn, albeit with vague information: “These are the documents from Ahmed ALMASRI alias Amir alias Anis AMRI, b. on December 22, 1992; attached fingerprints and palm prints of Amir. "Until then, the German authorities were not able to clearly determine Amri's identity, and so the Tunisian Consulate General rejected the application on October 20, 2016 with the message:" This is not a Tunisian citizen " .

The final confirmation that Amri was a Tunisian citizen was ultimately thanks to the efforts of the BKA (“police line”). The BKA tried to clarify Amri's identity at an early stage and on February 18, 2016 sent a request to Tunisia. BKA officials traveled to Tunisia in May 2016, initially with no concrete results. Four days after the Tunisian consulate general refused to recognize Amri as a citizen, Interpol Tunis confirmed to the LKA NRW on October 24, 2016 that Anis Amri was a Tunisian. The LKA NRW forwarded this to the Ministry of the Interior in North Rhine-Westphalia (MIK) and from there to the ZAB Cologne.

As a result, the ZAB Cologne was able to initiate a new PEP procedure on October 27, 2016. On December 21, 2016 - two days after the attack in Berlin - the ZAB in Cologne received confirmation from the Tunisian Consulate General that Amri had also been identified by the relevant Tunisian central office and that PEP could be issued.

According to the authorities, Amri was in Berlin , Freiburg and North Rhine-Westphalia, officially registered he remained in the refugee accommodation in Emmerich in the Kleve district even after he went into hiding . In July 2016, after a knife fight in a Neukölln bar, Amri was investigated for dangerous bodily harm . The investigation was inconsequential as he was in hiding at the time.

Arrest in Friedrichshafen

After the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) of North Rhine-Westphalia informed the Constance Police Department and the Friedrichshafen Federal Police Station about a possible journey Amris from Berlin via Munich to Zurich , he was picked up on Saturday, July 30, 2016 in the Friedrichshafen bus station near the Swiss border. Amri identified himself with an Italian ID ( Carta d'Identità ) and stated that he wanted to go to a wedding in Zurich. (It was later learned that he apparently to visit on Facebook was traveling above introduced marriage aspirants to Switzerland to escape through a marriage of deportation.) When checking the identity card proved this to be false. As a result, his luggage was searched and another forged Italian passport and drugs were found. Both documents were made out to “Anis Amri”, born on December 22, 1995 in Rome.

Amri was then prohibited from leaving the country in accordance with Section 46 (2) of the Residence Act . He was arrested and the case was handed over by the federal police to the Friedrichshafen state police station. Several preliminary investigations have been initiated against him. The specific allegations were: forgery of documents (Section 267 (1) of the Criminal Code ), provision of false official IDs (Section 276 (1) of the Criminal Code), unauthorized possession of narcotics (Section 29 (1) sentence 1 number 3 BtMG ), suspicion of unauthorized residence without a passport or Passport replacement (Section 95 (1) number 1 of the Residence Act), suspicion of illegal residence without a residence permit (Section 95 (1) number 2 of the Residence Act).

After consulting the state police with the Friedrichshafen immigration authority, Amri was arrested in the Ravensburg JVA to “secure deportation” to Tunisia . A district judge limited his temporary detention until Monday, August 1, 2016, 6:00 p.m. Until then, the foreigners authority responsible for Amri in Kleve should decide how to proceed with Amri. The case was discussed in the authorities on Monday. The Ministry of the Interior in North Rhine-Westphalia was contacted in Düsseldorf. There the case was presented to the Security Conference (Siko). Its members came to the conclusion that Amri's deportation could not take place within the next three months. Since the Tunisian authorities would probably not deliver the PEP (passport substitute documents) required for deportation during this period, Amri could not be detained in deportation . On the same day, the Kleve foreigners authority sent an email to the Ravensburg JVA with the argumentation of the Siko / Ministry of the Interior in North Rhine-Westphalia: Amri should be released from custody immediately. The request to the Ravensburg JVA to take Amri's palm prints beforehand was followed. At the same time, the Ravensburg public prosecutor presented the above. Proceedings according to § 154f StPO . Amri was then released again. Amri could presumably have been kept in custody longer, because the Federal Court of Justice had (already) ruled in 2010 that delays due to missing passport replacement papers are at the expense of the person obliged to leave the country.

When he was released, Amri gave an address in Karlsruhe as his residential address . However, it was the address of the “Human Rights Center Karlsruhe”. Several organizations that work with and for refugees are listed at the address. A spokesman for the local "Freundeskreis Asyl" announced, however, that Amri was not with them. The address is also not available as a registration address.

NRW Interior Minister Ralf Jäger said that Amri could not be deported because he did not have valid identification papers and Tunisia initially denied his citizenship.

German security authorities

An informant from the North Rhine-Westphalian State Criminal Police Office reported in the early summer of 2015 that Amri was regularly on the network of the mosque of the “German-speaking Islamic Circle Hildesheim” (DIK) of the Salafist preacher Abu Walaa , one of the most famous IS recruits in Germany. Amri said several times about possible attacks. In 2015 he was part of a group that was trained to fight in Syria. Amri is said to have stayed in Germany because those around him preferred attacks in Germany to leaving. Amri is said to have asked a man who was listed as a source for the North Rhine-Westphalia police force if he could get firearms.

In March 2016, the State Criminal Police Office of North Rhine-Westphalia initiated proceedings against Amri on suspicion of preparing a serious, state-endangering act of violence. He was classified as a threat and under covert observation from March 14, 2016. His communications were also monitored. Since Amri was mainly in Berlin, the surveillance was taken over by the authorities there. In Berlin, Amri was selling drugs in Görlitzer Park . He was checked at a bus station in Berlin, but allowed to run again. At the end of May 2016, Amri spoke to a confidante at the State Office of Criminal Investigation in Düsseldorf and informed her of his attack plans.

At the beginning of July 2017, the head of the terrorism department at the Federal Prosecutor's Office established that Amri apparently had a Tunisian passport after a phone call that had been tapped in April 2016. The recording of the phone call was not evaluated promptly and the findings were not passed on later.

Amri's observation was discontinued in September because, according to the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office, “the extensive surveillance measures […] despite the extension did not provide any evidence to verify the original accusation or to substantiate this or another accusation relevant to the state security, so there is no basis for a further one Extension of the orders for surveillance measures was more ". In November 2016, the preacher of the DIK Abu Walaa in Hildesheim , around whom Amri was moving, was arrested. At the same time, the Dortmund Boban S., with whom Amri is said to have lived temporarily, was arrested. In the same month, Amri was the subject of a meeting of the Federal and State Joint Counter-Terrorism Center . Officials there were concerned about how mobile and how radical Amri was.

On December 14, 2016, a new version of the Amris personal profile was created by the security authorities, which incorporated information from several departments. The State Criminal Police Office in Düsseldorf rated Amri as "a Salafist and radical fundamentalist". The Dortmund police headquarters classified him as a sympathizer of the Islamic State. It should also have been known that "he was looking for bomb-building instructions and offered himself as a suicide bomber". The North Rhine-Westphalian state government declared on 14 January 2017 after a relevant request of the CDU parliamentary group, Amri was not an undercover agent of the country's intelligence service have been.

According to reports from the RBB , the Berlin State Criminal Police Office and the public prosecutor's office demanded that Anis Amri be kept under surveillance because of the danger, which, contrary to official reports, did not occur. Until June 2016, the assassin was observed by the Berlin Christmas market at the Memorial Church. So far, the LKA chief, police president, state secretary and interior senator have announced that the observation was then stopped because there were no indications of an impending serious crime. The LKA and the public prosecutor's office applied for further observation and received judicial approval due to Amri's continued association with the Salafist scene in Berlin. However, the decision was not implemented. Berlin's Senator for the Interior, Andreas Geisel (SPD), said that these documents were not available. A special representative is to provide further clarification.

Foreign security agencies

The Moroccan secret service Mudīriyyat Murāqabat at-Turāb al-Waṭanī (Direction générale de la surveillance du territoire du Maroc - DGST) warned German security authorities specifically about Amri on September 19, 2016 and again on October 11, 2016. Amri has contacts with the Islamic State terrorist militia and is ready to carry out a terrorist attack. According to this, Amri had contact with at least two supporters of the IS militia in Germany; one is said to have been a Russian expelled from the German authorities to Russia, the other to a Moroccan whose passport was confiscated by the Berlin police. In addition, the secret service transmitted a conspiratorial address in Dortmund , where Amri is said to have been undercover for 14 months. He also tried to recruit members for the IS terrorist militia in Tunisia. The reports were sent to the Federal Intelligence Service and the Federal Criminal Police Office at the same time . On December 23, 2016, the Moroccan embassy in Berlin confirmed that it had issued two warnings. The DGST had also warned of the attack in Nice on July 14, 2016.

Amri was also known to the US authorities. The New York Times reported that he found out about the construction of explosive devices on the Internet and that he contacted the terrorist militia IS at least once via Telegram Messenger . His name was on the US no-fly list .

Different identities

Amri used 14 different identities with different names and biographical data, including the following:

  • Mohamed Hassa (born October 22, 1992 in Cafrichik, Egypt). Amri was used under this name in the refugee home in Emmerich.
  • Mohammad Hassan (born October 22, 1992 in Kafer, Egypt). The initial reception facility in Dortmund listed him as an asylum seeker under this name.
  • Ahmed Almasri (born January 1, 1995 in Cafrichik, Egypt). Amri was registered under this name in the transition home in Emmerich until December 5, 2016.
  • Ahmed Almasri (born January 1, 1995 in Alexandria , Egypt). The Oberhausen refugee center carried him under this name.
  • Ahmed Almasri (born January 1, 1995 in Skendiria, Egypt). It was listed under this name in an identity document from the Dortmund immigration authorities.
  • Ahmad Zaghoul (born December 22, 1995). This was his name at the Central Service Center for Asylum Seekers in Berlin.
  • Ahmad Zarzour (born December 22, 1995 in Ghaza, Tunisia). It is currently unknown when and where he used this name.

Amri is said to have used the different identities for social fraud . The public prosecutor's office in Duisburg is said to have opened an investigation against Amri in April 2016 because he received social benefits several times in Emmerich and Oberhausen in November 2015 . The investigation was discontinued in November 2016 "because the authorities are not aware of Amri's whereabouts".

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees deliberately used a false name for Amri "to keep him safe despite ongoing investigations". The Klever immigration authorities issued Amri a certificate of tolerance in the name of Ahmed Almasri.

Attack in Berlin in 2016

On the evening of December 18, 2016, Amri met his 26-year-old compatriot Bilel Ben Ammar, who was deported on February 1, 2017 and who is classified as a contact by the investigative authorities, in a restaurant in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen . Ben Ammar, who is assigned to the radical Salafist scene, was classified as a "threat" after the attack. He had previously been investigated for a serious criminal offense that threatened the state - he was suspected of having obtained explosives for an attack in Düsseldorf together with two other people, but this could not be proven. On January 4, 2017, an arrest warrant was issued against Bilel Ben Ammar on suspicion of social fraud.

On December 19, shortly after 3 p.m., Amri took control of a trailer truck belonging to a Polish haulage company on Friedrich-Krause-Ufer in Berlin-Moabit by shooting the Polish driver with a small-caliber pistol ( .22 caliber ). He tried to steer the vehicle before 4 p.m., but initially remained standing on Friedrich-Krause-Ufer. Recordings from a police surveillance camera show that Amri was in the mosque of the Fussilet 33 association , a Salafist meeting point, between 6:38 p.m. and 7:07 p.m. Back in the truck, Amri chatted with fellow believers from Berlin and the Ruhr area. Among other things, he sent a selfie from the driver's cab of the truck and the message “My brother, everything is okay, God willing. I'm in the car now, praying for myself, my brother, praying for me. ”He left at 7:30 pm and went to the Christmas market at Breitscheidplatz at around 8:00 pm . He killed 11 people and injured another 55, some of them seriously. He then fled the crime scene on foot.

A Pakistani asylum seeker was first mistakenly suspected of being the perpetrator and imprisoned for one day after the attack. In the driver's cab of the truck, a certificate of tolerance for the Tunisian citizen Anis Amri, issued by the Kleve district on December 20, 2016, was only found when the vehicle was examined again . Amri's HTC and Samsung cell phones were also seized on December 20, 2016. The former was found stuck in the grille of the truck and may have been thrown through the windshield when the emergency brake assist brakes hard. His wallet containing 230 euros was also found at the crime scene.

On the afternoon of December 21, 2016, Ralf Jäger , Minister of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia, stated in a press conference that the discovery of Amri's identification document in the crime truck did not “mean that Amri was also involved in the crime”. It was not until the evening of December 21, 2016 that the Federal Public Prosecutor wrote a public search. The Federal Criminal Police Office offered a reward of up to 100,000 euros for clues leading to the capture of Amri. On December 21, two days after the attack, replacement identification papers arrived from Tunisia. On December 22, it was confirmed that Amri's fingerprints had been found in the truck's cab. On the same day, Amris' family living in Tunisia published an appeal for Anis Amri to face the police. If he did what the authorities suspected, he would be punished for it.

People around Amri said he also used drugs. His siblings suspected that he had radicalized himself in an Italian prison. On March 4, 2017, Amri was confirmed to be using cocaine and hashish on a regular basis . That comes from the autopsy report, which the Italian news agency Ansa has . Accordingly, the Tunisian is said to have not taken drugs on the day of his death, but it cannot be ruled out that he was under the influence of drugs at the time of the attack.

death

On December 23, 2016 at three o'clock in the morning Amri was in the Metropolitan city of Milan belonging city Sesto San Giovanni shot. Italian Interior Minister Marco Minniti reported that Amri immediately shot two policemen with a gun pulled from his backpack during an ID check until one of the two shot him. A patrolman was injured in the shoulder during the exchange of fire. Amri was identified by fingerprint, according to the police. He was carrying a train ticket from France to Italy. There are said to have been several hundred euros in his backpack. Amri shot the Italian police officers with the same gun that he used to shoot the truck driver in Berlin in the head.

He is said to have procured the ERMA pistol , model EP 552, caliber 22 long rifle , in Switzerland. On the same day, a video appeared on the website of the propaganda mouthpiece Amaq of the terrorist militia Islamic State , in which Amri professed his support for the leader of the terrorist militia, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi . Amaq had already spread the news on December 20, 2016 that the attacker had acted as a "soldier of the Islamic State".

In the days that followed, three men were arrested in Tunisia near the city of Kairouan , one of whom was Amris' nephew. The Interior Ministry called the three arrested a "terrorist cell", they are between 18 and 27 years old and the access is related to the investigation into Amri. Tunisia has been under pressure to act since it was known that its authorities had refused to take Amri back after Amri had served his prison sentence in Italy and when North Rhine-Westphalia wanted to deport him.

As early as December 20, 2016, someone in North Rhine-Westphalia had logged into Amri's Facebook account and deleted the Amris Facebook profile.

Initially, the award of the Federal Cross of Merit was discussed for the two police officers, Luca Scatà and Christian Movio, who shot Amri . However, after information about their private activities became known in social networks, the federal government decided against it: Scatà had glorified Benito Mussolini on Instagram and showed Saluto romano , while Movio spoke out against immigrants on Facebook, via a cola bottle with the name " Adolf " was delighted and had posted a photo montage of Hitler underneath, with the words "Thanks Bro" (Thank You Brother). The Italian Ministry of the Interior then transferred both of them and kept their new jobs secret.

In June 2017, Amri's body was transferred to Tunisia, where he was buried on August 5, 2017 in the presence of his family without a traditional ceremony.

Political reappraisal

Bundestag - Parliamentary control body of the Bundestag

The parliamentary control body of the Bundestag, which is responsible for the secret services and meets in secret, set up a "task force" in mid-January 2017 to clear up possible mistakes or mishaps in dealing with Amri. This prepared a 102-page report, which was completed at the end of March 2017 and classified as secret. As far as is known, the control committee criticized in its report the procedure for assessing Islamist threats in the Joint Counter-Terrorism Center as inadequate. There are 40 offices involved, including the Federal Criminal Police Office, the State Criminal Police Office, the Federal Police, the protection of the constitution from the federal and state levels, the Federal Intelligence Service , the Military Counter-Intelligence Service and the Customs Criminal Police Office. There was also criticism of the insufficient involvement of the intelligence services, especially the Federal Intelligence Service, in the investigation against Amri. The Parliamentary Control Committee also called for the judicial and immigration authorities to be more closely involved in dealing with those at risk in order to be able to carry out deportations more consistently. The judiciary should also bundle procedures and strive for class actions.

Opposition politicians criticized the report of the Parliamentary Control Body. André Hahn ( Die Linke and Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Control Committee) described the report as "incomplete in crucial places and therefore only partially or not at all suitable for clarifying the events surrounding the attack". On the one hand, this is due to the fact that the authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia provided the control committee with virtually no documents. On the other hand, the permanent authorized representative of the control body, who played a leading role in the task force's report, had numerous discussions of which the other members of the control body were unaware. Hans-Christian Ströbele ( Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and member of the Parliamentary Control Committee) judged that although the task force had "uncovered a completely new dimension of the threat", there were still numerous open questions. Konstantin von Notz (Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen) demanded that it should be clarified in particular "why Anis Amri was able to move through Germany protected under a cheese dome". The opposition therefore called for a Bundestag committee of inquiry into Amri.

Refurbishment in North Rhine-Westphalia

Two parliamentary committees of inquiry

At the request of the parliamentary groups of the CDU, FDP and PIRATES, Committee of Inquiry V for the 16th electoral term on the case of Anis Amri in North Rhine-Westphalia began its work in mid-February. An interim report was published on April 4, 2017.

Inquiry committee I of the 17th electoral term (Amri case) was set up by the state parliament on June 1, 2017 on the basis of a motion by the parliamentary groups of the CDU, SPD, FDP and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen. The committee was constituted on June 27, 2017 under the chairmanship of Jörg Geerlings (CDU).

Involvement of informants of the LKA NRW

The Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg and the Berlin Morgenpost reported in October 2017, citing several defense lawyers of Islamists from the group of Abu Walaa that the Islamist group to the assassin Amri from the state police of North Rhine-Westphalia (LKA NRW) as a "trusted person 01" (VP-01) led man is said to have asked for attacks himself. According to a witness, there was also talk of an attack with a truck . In view of the allegations that only became known within the authorities, the LKA NRW has already tried several times to protect its undercover agent, who has since been exposed. The German political scientist Hajo Funke from the Free University of Berlin stated that the "funding of assassination plans" was "not covered at all by police law ."

Processing in Berlin

The way to the parliamentary committee of inquiry

In Berlin, the opposition parties AfD and FDP were initially unable to enforce their demands for a parliamentary committee of inquiry into the terrorist attack. The CDU, which is also opposed, and the coalition parties SPD, Die Linke and Bündnis 90 / Greens refused to support the FDP proposal. In April 2017, the Berlin Senate appointed the former federal prosecutor at the Federal Court of Justice Bruno Jost as a special investigator to investigate the work of the Berlin authorities in the Amri case. Jost got an office with Interior Senator Andreas Geisel (SPD) and two employees. It presented an interim report in summer 2017 and a comprehensive final report on October 12, 2017, which was also published on the Internet.

On July 6, 2017, at the request of the SPD, CDU, Die Linke, Greens and FDP parliamentary groups , the Berlin House of Representatives decided to set up a committee of inquiry in accordance with Article 48 of the Berlin Constitution to investigate the investigation into the terrorist attack on Breitscheidplatz on 19 December 2016. In the constituent meeting of the committee on July 14, 2017, MP Burkard Dregger (CDU) was elected chairman.

After the Federal Ministry of the Interior only made incomplete files available to the investigative committee, which were blackened by up to 90 percent and therefore largely unusable, the State of Berlin sued the Federal Administrative Court for the submission of unredacted files. The Federal Ministry of the Interior had invoked that a state committee of inquiry was not entitled to review the actions of federal authorities; the court rejected this argument and granted the country the coveted submission of unredacted files in an urgent procedure.

Cover-up attempts at the LKA Berlin

In mid-May 2017, it became known that Amri might have been arrested before the attack. The special investigator Bruno Jost had encountered inconsistencies in the police information system during his research in the LKA Berlin . Two documents (one digital, the other printed out on paper), dated November 1, 2016, contained contradicting statements. They were two versions of an LKA final report prepared by investigators after Amri's telephone surveillance ended from March to September 2016.

The first report said Amri was only a small-scale drug trafficker. This report was only four pages long, was printed out and was in the files on the Amri case. On the basis of this report, the Interior Committee of the Berlin Senate and the public had been informed to date. With reference to this report, the Berlin authorities had repeatedly asserted that Amri had only been noticed as a "small dealer in connection with Görlitzer Park" during surveillance measures in summer 2016.

However, special investigator Jost found a second, previously unknown, 12-page document on the same incident and with the same date in the digital police information system, the content of which differed considerably from the shorter report known to the public. It was the original LKA final report on Amri's telephone surveillance. This report was not printed out and was therefore not included in the official paper investigation file.

A completely new picture emerged from this original LKA report. Afterwards, during Amri's telephone monitoring, the investigators found that although no attack plans could be proven, Amri had been trading narcotics on a commercial basis and as a gang. The investigators had refrained from disclosing this information and from obtaining an arrest warrant for Amri. They had apparently been fixated solely on Amri's activities in the field of Islamist terrorism. "On the basis of the criminal offense of commercial, gang-like trade in narcotics, arrest would have been possible" (Interior Senator Geisel).

After the attack, the investigators realized their fatal mistake. They decided to cover it up and to create a new, manipulated report on the telephone surveillance process in order to exonerate themselves: in the one newly written by a chief detective of the Berlin LKA 544 on January 17, 2017 and backdated to November 1, 2016 The report was now belittling, in the course of the telephone monitoring of the Amri it had been noticed that this "could possibly have been trading in narcotics since May 2016". An application for an arrest warrant would have been hopeless. According to Jost, the report, which was significantly “slimmed down” compared to the original document, was also missing the name of a drug suspect, and only six of the original 73 logs of intercepted telephone calls were still included.

The Berlin state government then filed criminal charges against LKA employees for falsifying documents and preventing punishment in office . Among other things, two young commissioners employed by the Berlin LKA 5 (state security) were affected.

Final report of the special investigator

In autumn 2017, Jost summarized the results of his investigations in a final report, which he presented to the public on October 12, 2017 together with Interior Senator Geisel. This included further allegations against the LKA. The report, which was falsified on January 17, was not the first manipulation by the investigating officers. Rather, the manipulation began just two days after the attack, when the state security department wrote a report to the political leadership of the office. Jost did not want to name those responsible, as criminal proceedings are underway against the suspected officer (s). Overall, Jost accused the LKA and the Berlin Public Prosecutor General's office of inadequate supervision.

The special investigator made further serious allegations to the police in Berlin, but also in Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia. “Everything was done wrong that can be done wrong,” said Jost. Amri could have been arrested much earlier because of his involvement in the drug trade and the use of forged ID cards, and the attack could have been prevented. In particular, the interrogation in Friedrichshafen , where Amri tried to leave the country at the end of July 2016, was not used by the authorities to pull the person out of circulation. When the report was presented, the Berlin Senator for the Interior, Geisel, called for an investigative committee of the Bundestag into the Amri case. On February 26, 2018, the Berlin police chief Klaus Kandt was released from his duties.

Investigative Committee of the Bundestag

On January 18, 2018, motions from the CDU / CSU and SPD (jointly), FDP, DIE LINKE and BÜNDNIS 90 / DIE GRÜNEN initiated the establishment of an investigative committee (according to Art. 44 GG) to deal with the events surrounding the attack on Breitscheidplatz been.

On March 1, 2018, the German Bundestag decided to set up the committee of inquiry. The BT-U committee should focus on the respective procedures of the security, law enforcement and penal authorities, the federal and state intelligence services, as well as the authorities responsible for enforcing asylum and residence law; the question of whether these authorities - while exhausting the legal possibilities - have taken appropriate measures or have failed to do so. Then whether a timely and appropriate exchange of information between the individual authorities has taken place (domestic, European, non-European level) and what conclusions must be drawn with regard to changes in powers, organization, work and cooperation between the various authorities.

In November 2019, police officers from North Rhine-Westphalia testified as witnesses before the committee and raised serious allegations against the Federal Ministry of the Interior .

On July 1, 2020 it was announced that the members of the committee now want to commission an independent expert to prepare an expert opinion on the "traces of the Breitscheidplatz attack". A corresponding motion for evidence is to be resolved across factions. The expert should investigate, among other things, the investigation of the crime scene, the truck and Amri's body.
