Last week, the world media has stirred up the news of the shooting of visitors of the shopping center in Munich, committed by an immigrant Iranian origin. As it turned out, a weapon that bought into the darknet killer was originally sham. This writes the German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung.
According to the newspaper, the weapon used in the attack, had previously given into disrepair and was used as props in theater productions. However, the very information that weapons were bought for bitcoins, sparked fierce debate on tightening cryptocurrency control.
Later, the media began to refer to the statement by the head of the criminal police department of Bavaria Robert Haymbergera, which explains where and how the weapon got into the hands of criminals. In the end it turned out that the pistol Glock 17 more in 2014, was sold for use in theatrical productions and deliberately given in disrepair. In this state, it and bought Ali Sonbali later to repair weapons.
