Anis Amri was a Tunisian Islamist "lone nut assassin" who reportedly carried out the 2016 Berlin attack by driving a truck at customers in a Christmas market in Berlin. While he probably was involved in the incident in one way or another, he did not drive the truck, and did not act alone, but was selected by the security services as a patsy with sole responsibility.

Official narrative

Amri was "radicalised" in an Italian jail and carried out the 2016 Berlin attack with the backing of ISIL. After carrying out the attack, he was the subject of a manhunt and was shot by Italian police. Amri features in a video in which he pledes allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, vowing “we will slaughter... crusaders who are shelling the Muslims every day.”[1]

According to the official narrative he confessed to the act by demonstratively showing the Islamist greeting of a raised finger to a surveillance camera at a subway station a few minutes after the attack, and by leaving his phone at the crime scene[2]

Video

Anis Amri was in the vicinity of the crime scene on December 19, 2016 in the minutes after the attack, as proved by a subway video.

According to police, Amri left by subway at Zoo Station after the attack, which happened between 20:02 and 20:03, where he was recorded by a video camera at 20:06. At about 21:30 and 21:50 Amri was again captured by video cameras in Wedding, where he lived. Amri was able to escape from Berlin, is said to have gone to Emmerich in NRW and was shot dead by police officers in Italy on December 23, 2016.

Amri moved from the crime scene to the Zoo subway station, passed through the station and then went out again at the other end. What the official narrative muddles, is that the tunnel passage was not an entry to the subway, but an exit tunnel, from where he goes upstairs into the open air.[3] He did not go directly to his place in the borough of Wedding, but stayed near the place of attack at first, and postponed his subsequent escape from the city for an indefinite period of time. The movements according to the official narrative don't make much sense, since he could have easier got to the place where he reappeared from the subway. He did not have to go through the underground, but could get there directly from above ground. But apart from that, Amri would have had about 90 seconds to make his way through the double subway station to the place where the video camera in question captured him. A member of the Bundestag, who was on the investigative committee and who was also surprised by the video, called this feat "sporty".[3]

A more likely explanation for Amri's appearance at the said time at the said place in the station is that he arrived there by subway only a short time before and then purposefully headed towards the place of attack. Especially since he may have been carrying a mobile phone with him, which he lost on the truck together with a second mobile phone, or, according to the theory of the prosecutor's office, is said to have deliberately left there as a confession of the crime.[3]

An eyewitness who saw the assassin get out and walk away after the truck had sped through the Christmas market noticed a detail that does not fit Amri: his shoes were light beige and ankle-high boots. In the subway video, the suspected Tunisian was wearing red sports shoes.[4]

Denied involvement

Amri denied several times to acquaintances and friends after the attack that he had anything to do with the crime. A first indication of this can be found in the interrogation documents of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA): Mohamed A., the brother of Khaled A., with whom Amri shared a room until the day of the attack, received a posting from Anis Amri on his mobile phone, provided with a passport photo of him and a text with the following wording:

Guys, I can't show myself in public, I have nothing to do with this thing. I would never do something like that in my life. All are lies!! Please share ALL this post and do not believe these media. Help me!!! God protect you all my brothers and sister.[5]

In a second example, immediately after the attack, Amri allegedly said in a personal conversation with someone from the Fussilet mosque environment that he was not involved in the attack and was falsely accused.[2]

Death

After the escape of the perpetrator, the traces of Amri are said to have been lost at first. He was wanted all over Europe. It turned out that he had reached Italy via the Netherlands, Belgium and France. He then turned up four days later at 3 a.m. near the Sesto San Giovanni train station near Milan, when two policemen approached him and demanded to see his papers. According to the police, he allegedly pulled a pistol out of his backpack and shot at the police officers. Then they shot him.[6] They said that he had previously handed them his Islamist "business card", by saying "Allahu Akbar". There were no witnesses. [7] His death also made a trial unnecessary.

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière said that he was "relieved" by Amri's death[8], while German Chancellor Angela Merkel has also expressed her relief.[9]

Wikipedia page

On 21 December 2016‎, Amri was given a Wikipedia page that redirected to the Berlin attack. This was upgraded to a full page, but was reverted since he was termed "Not independently notable".

Amri's friends

On 8 April 2018 six people were arrested among whom some were friends of Amri's, for planning a knife attack on a sports event in Berlin.[10] They were all released after no evidence was found that they were planning a terror attack.[11]
