A far-right leader in Germany knew the suspect in the Christmas market attack was a Tunisian just two hours after the attack – despite police initially arresting a Pakistani man, it has emerged.
Lutz Bachmann, who fronts the anti-immigrant PEGIDA group, tweeted on Monday night that he had ‘internal police information’ about the nationality of the lorry driver who murdered 12 revellers in Berlin.
At the time, police had announced the arrest of a Pakistani asylum seeker – it was only when he was released that Tunisian Anis Amri was publicly identified as the chief suspect.
It comes as conspiracy theories surfaced online questioning how police missed the suspect’s ID in the truck for 24 hours.
