Mass sexual assaults by refugees in Frankfurt ‘completely made up’

[Cocaine Heart 4,768]

Prosecutors in Frankfurt are investigating two people for making up a crime, after they claimed in a national newspaper that dozens of Arab men rioted and sexually assaulted women at New Year.

The claims first appeared in Bild newspaper on February 6th, which described the men as a “rioting sex mob,” speculating that they had come from a refugee home in central Hesse. In an article since taken down from its website, the tabloid interviewed a well-known chef who runs a restaurant on Fressgass street, as well as a 27-year-old woman.

The chef, Jan Mai, claimed that 50 Arab men caused havoc in his restaurant as well as in others. He also claimed that they sexually assaulted women and stole jackets. The woman told the newspaper that “they grabbed me under my skirt, between the legs and on my breast - everywhere.”

But police confirmed on Tuesday to the Frankfurter Rundschau that their investigation of the allegations had led them to believe that they were spurious.

“Interviews with alleged witnesses, guests and employees led to major doubts with the version of events that had been presented,” the police said.

“One of the alleged victims was not even in Frankfurt at the time the allegations are said to have taken place.”

The police were indeed unequivocal in how they understood the events to have unfolded.

“Masses of refugees were not responsible for any sexual assaults in the Fressgass over New Year. The accusations are completely baseless,” the police said.

Before the Bild report, no sexual assaults were reported to police from Fressgass over New Year.

Prosecutors are now looking into whether Mai and the 27-year-old woman made up the story.

Bild newspaper is bitterly resented by the German left, which accuses it of having stoked hatred against immigrants over decades.

On its website Bild published a statement on Tuesday, saying “Bild apologizes expressly for the untruthful article and the accusations made in it.

“This article in no way met the journalistic standards of Bild.”

Bild's online editor-in-chief, Julian Reichelt, also promised consequences on Twitter.

“We apologize for our own work. I’ll shortly announce what Bild will do about it,” he tweeted.

“It’s too late. The damage has already been done,” one wrote.

“Ah, Bild is apologizing. You should do it more often given how many of your articles are fakes,” another wrote.

Bild is pretty much hated by anyone who has a bit of common sense

One of the suggested articles under their apology was "10 facts you didn't know about your Penis".

 Well, now what? Racists will still insist all refugees are dangerous and damage has been done.

And still continue to insist they are not racist and that reverse racism is plaguing society too, that refugee bans will effectively reduce crimes bla3

I never even heard about those reports. Then again, I don't read Bild. They are the worst  I wouldn't call them a newspaper

Actual one of the worst things you could lie about, as if we need any more panic about refugees...

[Lion Heart 15,041]

Wow. Literal fake news.

 

Those who made up the story should be arrested tbh.

It's not America and as we all know, Germany is currently a hell hole because of the flood of refugees.

I can barely walk outside, they are everywhere

Especially in Frankfurt, they built those skycrapers for a reason
