The Cologne attacks were a series of mass sexual assaults on women by Muslim colonists and settlers operating in that city as well as other German and European cities on New Year's Eve. Now we're learning more about the initial coverup which dealt a severe blow to Merkel's open borders refugee policy.
Police investigating the mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year’s Eve claim they were ordered to remove the word “rape” from their initial report.
Local officers had produced an internal “important event” memo entitled “rape, sexual harassment, thefts, committed by a large group of foreign people” – the first indication of the scale of the incident which would go on to make headlines around the world.
According to Cologne newspaper Express, officers received a phone call from the state police control centre ordering them to take down the report “or otherwise delete the phrase ‘Vergewaltigung’” – “rape”.
A senior Cologne police officer told Express he was informed of the order by a colleague who took the call, and that state police understood it to be “the wish of the state interior ministry”.
Police ultimately refused the request, leaving the word “rape” in their report, and the news would eventually reach the wider world.
Which is how the truth got out.
But according to the memo one officer received a phone call from the ministry asking him to tone down the report.
“Ch Insp H. told me the ministry wants the major event report cancelled, or references to rape to be removed,” the memo reads.
The newspaper named one of the officers involved as Insp Joachim H.
According to the minister’s formal report to the state parliament, which was published this week, 153 suspects have so far been identified in the sexual assualts and robberies committed on New Year’s Eve.
The overwhelming majority, 149, are foreign nationals, including 103 Moroccans and Algerians.
Police believe 68 of the suspects are asylum-seekers, 18 are in Germany illegally, and four are unaccompanied minors. The reports says the immigration status of 47 is unclear.
This is what open borders means. This is what the "widows and orphans" school of refugee admissions means.
