DThe police have warned against the dissemination of a “fake video” on the Internet, which is about an alleged crime by Ukrainians in North Rhine-Westphalia. “A video is currently being circulated on the Internet, in which a report is given of an attack on a 16-year-old youth in the Euskirchen area. He was allegedly beaten to death by a group of Ukrainians,” Bonn police said on Twitter on Sunday evening. It continues: “The experts are currently assuming that this is an intentional ‘fake video’ intended to stir up hatred. We ask that this video not be distributed further (…)”
