The Berlin police did not want to tell RBB, with reference to jurisdiction of or authorities, why man was set free again. He's been submerged ever since. In meantime, station has been ordered by Saxon authorities to have a warrant in Berlin.

The Tunisian Amri, who also had to leave, had killed twelve people in attack on Berliner Breitscheidplatz on 19 December 2016 and injured around 70 more. He was known to authorities as a Islamist and had traded drugs. Neverless, no arrest warrant had been issued.
