The number of sexual assault cases in Germany on New Year’s Eve may be much larger than previously believed, as leaked documents show authorities once again may be covering up what happened.
Germany’s largest newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung released new figures Sunday of the magnitude of the events across Germany. The newspaper claims police estimate 1,200 women were assaulted by as many as 2,000 men across Germany’s major cities.
The number of sexual assault cases in Cologne alone are 642 instead of the around 500 previously reported. An additional 400 cases were reported in Hamburg, which is more than twice the official figure.
The unprecedented events became a massive scandal in the country, in part because authorities tried to protect the foreign perpetrators by not releasing any information.
