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.
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 is also said to have confessed to the act, for example by demonstratively showing the Islamist greeting in a surveillance camera at a subway station a few minutes after the attack.[2]
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."[3]
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]
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.[4] They were all released after no evidence was found that they were planning a terror attack.[5]
