Mixed Berlin

Police in Berlin are investigating attacks linked to extortion, including a grenade attack in Zelendorf, gunshots in Wilmersdorf, and truck burnings in Spandau.

Infact verdict: Mixed (56/100).

The claims regarding criminal activities in Berlin, such as the grenade attack in Zelendorf, gunshots in Wilmersdorf, and truck burnings in Spandau, have varying levels of corroboration. The grenade attack in Zelendorf is supported by evidence linking it to organized crime, while the gunshot shells in Wilmersdorf and truck burnings in Spandau lack direct evidence. The claim about extortion groups is partially supported by reports of extremist activities in Berlin. Overall, the evidence suggests some truth to the claims, but not all are fully verified.
