Essential statements of the Cologne police tip to the sexual assaults in New Year's Eve are obviously untrue, as involved in the use of the Cologne police "Welt am Sonntag" reported. Officials defend themselves against allegations of Federal Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière (CDU) to the address of the Cologne police. The Chief of Police of the cathedral city, Wolfgang Albers, had said on Tuesday: We did not know to whom the matter raised by the perpetrators, robbed passers and had sexually harassed women.
The Cologne police said the "Welt am Sonntag", they certainly controlled many people and sometimes arrested. Therefore, the police had also been known to which groups of people were involved. "There were represented differently from public, very well by numerous persons personal details added" that had belonged to the mob outside the station.
Around 100 of these persons had been checked; some of them had been supplied to the guard and taken into custody. So far, the Cologne police tip has not been reported that the police arrested the perpetrator or took into custody. The identity checks revealed Cologne police report continues: "Only a small minority Was it North Africans, the majority of Controlled by Syrians."
