Serious arson
Rocket influencer arrested at the airport
Because an Arab influencer shot a rocket into an apartment in Berlin on New Year's Eve and posted a video of it, he has been targeted by the law. The tourist wanted to fly back to Jordan on Saturday - but the police arrested him at the airport before he left the country. He was remanded in custody.
The 23-year-oldv Atallah Younes is accused of recklessly endangering human life, aggravated arson, attempted grievous bodily harm and damage to property, according to the public prosecutor's office. Police were able to arrest the Arab influencer shortly before he was able to board a plane to his home country at around 5pm.
The video that got the case rolling is shown here:
The young man, who has both a Jordanian and a Palestinian passport, is to be sent to the Berlin-Maobit correctional facility. Serious arson is punishable by a prison sentence of at least one year, while dangerous bodily harm is punishable by at least six months, reported Bild. Damage to property will be punished with a fine.
Younes is accused of deliberately firing the firework rocket into an apartment on the third floor of an apartment building. In the process, "the furniture in the bedroom of the 33-year-old apartment owner was damaged", the police said in a statement. Earlier media reports, however, stated that the projectile had exploded in a child's bedroom.
Here, Younes complains about the reporting of his crime:
Victim threw burning missile out of window
The fact that the fire from the burning rocket did not spread to the apartment was only thanks to the quick reaction of the apartment owner. The man threw the remains of the projectile out of the window. All the people in the apartment were unharmed in the incident.
The influencer had made it particularly easy for the investigators to find him. Younes himself had posted a video of the crime on his channels. After a large number of negative reactions, he deleted the clip and published an apology - he also asked the owner of the apartment for forgiveness, he explained in a post.
Influencer names day of his departure in interview
In an interview with "Zeit" magazine, he also explained that he had not known how a rocket worked - he could not understand the investigations against him, as he had not deliberately wanted to hurt anyone. He was shocked by the racist messages he had received. He also announced that he wanted to fly back to his home country on Saturday - and in doing so, probably took some of the investigators' work off their hands.
