The President of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), Holger Münch, has warned of further attacks like a year ago in Hanau.

The police are "increasingly dealing with perpetrators acting alone, who have radicalized themselves and sometimes act irrationally," said Münch to the "Tagesspiegel".

In Hanau on February 19, 2020, a man shot and killed nine people from immigrant families for racist motives and then killed his mother and himself.

This type of offender mixed "motives and backgrounds ranging from xenophobia, racism, misogyny or anti-Semitism to crude conspiracy theories and psychotic disorders," said Münch.

The BKA boss is also concerned about the lockdown, because even more people are on the Internet and "come into contact with content from the right-wing opinion bubble".
