🇩🇪❗️A new investigation by Germany’s ZDF has revealed that, in the days leading up to the knife attack in Mannheim, internet users in Russia were actively searching for information about a “terrorist attack in Germany.”

According to investigator, this could point to prior knowledge of the crime: “We’re seeing search queries from Russia about the attacker in advance, even the name.”

Russian users were also searching for live broadcasts from Mannheim’s market square, the location of the incident.
