Scandal at the European Championships in Munich: A security guard (19) gave the Israeli sports delegation the Hitler salute when they visited the memorial site of the terrorist attack at the 1972 Olympic Games. The man was immediately arrested. He is a German citizen with an Arabic name.
During the European Championships in Munich, a security guard (19) gave the Hitler salute to members of an Israeli delegation. The man was immediately arrested by a police officer who had witnessed the incident.
According to police, 16 officials and athletes from Israel were in Munich’s Olympic Park to visit memorials of the terrorist attack on the Israeli national team at the 1972 Olympic Games. Eleven Israeli athletes and coaches as well as a German policeman were killed in the attack by a Palestinian terrorist commando in Munich at the time.
At 7.20 p.m. they crossed the Hanns-Braun Bridge over the Georg-Brauchle-Ring. On its north side is the “lamentation beam” commemorating the dead. On the way there, the group passed four orderlies from a Berlin security service. During the tour, one of them was spotted by the officer showing the forbidden Nazi salute. The delegation itself is said to have noticed nothing of this.
The security guard, who is from Berlin, was charged with displaying unconstitutional signs and later released by the police. The suspect was banned from all further European Championship events by the organisers, as were his three colleagues. The state security department of the criminal police is now conducting further investigations. The newspapers “Bild” and “Süddeutsche Zeitung” were the first to report on the incident.
