German Officials Met Seven Times to Discuss Berlin Attacker Before

>Four more meetings follow in April, in June and a last one in November, a month before the attack. It isn’t clear whether all the meetings were held to talk exclusively Amri or whether his was one of several cases discussed.
>Undercover agents learned in February that Amri had moved to Berlin and was, again, speaking about wanting to die in the name of Allah and seeking other people to help him plan and conduct an attack.
>On the back of this latest information, federal prosecutors opened an fresh undercover investigation, monitoring his communications for six months through September. But after this failed to yield actionable evidence, investigators suspended their electronic surveillance.
>As recently as July, authorities discussed targeting Amri with a new legal provision that fast-tracks the deportation of someone seen as a particular terror risk. In a discussion involving a representative from the general prosecutor’s office, they decided against using the measure because they didn’t believe they could prove in court that Amri presented an acute danger, state Interior Ministry official Burkhard Schnieder said.
>In any case, officials said, a deportation effort using that legal provision in the summer wouldn’t have worked because Tunisian officials only confirmed Amri’s status as a Tunisian citizen in October.
>In September and October last year, police in North Rhine-Westphalia received tips from Tunisian and Moroccan security agencies that Amri supported Islamic State, had contact with Islamic State sympathizers in Berlin, and “wanted to carry out a project” in Germany, Dieter Schürmann, head of North Rhine-Westphalia’s criminal investigative agency LKA told lawmakers.
>But the warnings were too abstract to justify an arrest, he added. On a scale of one to eight, with one representing the strongest risk, Amri ranked five, Mr. Schürmann said.

Don't worry Europe is fine, they know who the terrorists are, they're just not allowed to do anything about it!

>>97494
Should have met eleven times

>>97495
not true, they can do meetings about it

I don't live in the EU but I imagine that this would be considered gross negligence and that the families could and should sue the pants off all involved?

I'm surprised the German govt admitted this much so far. In Canada that would have been swept under the table.

It seems Germany has become far more reasonable in their policing actions approaching this year.

12 months ago, detaining people based on their appearance would've been considered grossly prejudiced. Today, it's not only practiced, but very successful.

Brazil officials met only once.

fucking americans
What would be the reason too sue, you lost someone, and now you want money.. fuck i hate americans

>>98861
Aussie, you fuckwit.

And because the government should be punished and deterred from doing this fucking shit in the future. It's less about 'gib mi monies' and more about them worrying about the consequences in the case of future events like this happening. Money talks and its about the only thing a lot of people listen to nowadays.

Also get off your high horse you cockstain.

You're so right, just like how punishment to deter criminals from wrongdoing works so effectively, we should do exactly that with our own government

>>99239
But, it does. It's not the only deterrence, but for most sane people the thought of "doing this will get me in deep shit," is a huge contribution to the "don't do it moron," thought pattern.

And yes, you should do that with your government. Threatening them with suits, or the prospect of voting them out of office or even the idea of revolution is how you keep it in line. Do you honestly think a government that behaves like this shouldn't be punished?
