Brokstedt’s suspected knife attacker compared himself to the Breitscheidplatz assassin in Berlin. The CDU Hamburg calls for clarification: “What went wrong in the authority?”
After the possible extremist statements by the suspected knife attacker von Brokstedt became known, the CDU demanded clarification from Hamburg’s Senator for Justice Anna Gallina (Greens).
“We are requesting a special session of the Judiciary Committee to promptly ask Gallina again what went wrong in her authority,” said Dennis Thering, chairman of the Hamburg CDU parliamentary group.
The 33-year-old Palestinian Ibrahim A. is said to have stabbed other passengers with a knife on a regional train from Kiel to Hamburg on January 25. Two young people died and five others were injured. A few months before his release from Hamburg prison, Ibrahim A. is said to have compared himself to the assassin from Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz, Anis Amri. “There is not just one Anis Amri, there are several, I am one too,” he said to officials, the judicial authority said.
The statement from August 2022 was recorded in a so-called perception sheet in the prisoner’s personal file. It also shows that on August 6, 2022, when preparing for the free hour in the yard, Ibrahim A. “stuttered to himself” after the perception of an employee: “Big car, Berlin, that’s the truth”. According to the information, he told another employee twice on the way to the farm whether he also wanted to “under the tires”.
On December 19, 2016, Anis Amri drove a truck into the Christmas market on Breitscheidplatz near Berlin’s Memorial Church. 13 people were killed.
