An Islamist dangerous person tried to work as a security guard at the New Year’s Eve party at the Brandenburg Gate. The State Security checked his personal details and was able to exclude him from the party on the spot.
This is according to the final report (“VS – Only for official use”) of the responsible Directorate 1, which is in the possession of BILD.
According to the report, four employees of a security service were checked within the framework of so-called background checks.
Three of them received letters before the party that they were not allowed to work at the Brandenburg Gate. The reason was recent and significant offences such as arson, rape, robbery, threats or resistance against police officers.
In one case, the ban was imposed on the spot. “In this case, it was a case of a dangerous person from the Salafist scene who is under police surveillance,” says the internal final report.
In total, 500 people were checked by the State Protection on New Year’s Eve. The investigators took a closer look at eight of them.
