According to a media report, new details have become known about those arrested on New Year's Eve in Berlin.
Only 38 people were arrested after pure firecracker attacks on police officers and firefighters, two thirds of them were German, reported the Berlin "Tagesspiegel", citing the police.
The police would not confirm the report.
He couldn't say anything about it "because we haven't published anything about it," a police spokesman told the Evangelical Press Service (epd).
The previously known number of 145 arrested with 18 different nationalities had led to a debate about the lack of integration of young men.
However, this number refers to all people who were arrested by the units specially deployed for New Year's Eve for various crimes throughout the city, the "Tagesspiegel" reported.
In addition to attacks on officials, these also include arrests for arson, violations of the explosives law and breach of the peace.
However, it remains unknown to what extent those arrested have a migration background.
According to the consistent descriptions of the emergency services and documented by videos, numerous people who had attacked the police and fire brigade had a migration background, the newspaper reported.
However, there were also mobs of hooded people who obstructed and attacked the fire brigade.
Investigators suspected among them also people without a migration background.
To what extent the left-wing radical scene was actively involved is unclear, despite isolated indications.
CDU demands a list of suspects with their first names
The Berlin CDU meanwhile renewed its demand for a list with the first names of the suspects with German nationality.
The deputy parliamentary group leader of the Berlin CDU, Frank Balzer, said on Monday on the info radio of Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) that basically it doesn't change anything what name someone has who throws firecrackers at emergency services.
But it is about the question of “groups of perpetrators”.
Firefighters and police officers said very clearly, "These are migrants, young migrants, men - and almost exclusively with an Arab migration background," said Balzer.
In view of the brutality, the CDU believes that one has to deal with "where did the migration fail - and that's a topic in Neukölln in particular that we've been dealing with for decades and we keep getting away from naming names and naming groups". , said the CDU domestic politician.
