Just short of a year after the knife attack on a Spanish tourist at Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial, the suspect has been sentenced to 13 years in prison. The Kammergericht found the 20‑year‑old Syrian guilty of attempted murder, among other charges. He is alleged to have traveled from Leipzig to Berlin on 21 February 2025 with the intention of attacking so‑called non‑believers. At the memorial in central Berlin he stabbed the tourist, inflicting life‑threatening wounds. A short time before the assault, he sent a photo of himself to members of the Islamic State to allow the group to claim responsibility. The man was arrested on the same day and has been in investigative custody ever since.
