For what the Germans to thank the "girl Lisa"

Germany’s intelligence services warn of the stuffing of fake-nomads during the parliamentary elections

In early March, the Berlin Land Court began consideration of the case on charges of a twenty -three -year -old German citizen of Turkish origin in relation to a minor. These actions, as established by a police investigation, took place by mutual agreement, but under German law they are considered a crime if the teenager has not reached 14 years old. Moreover, the accused laid out a pornographic shoot on the Internet, accompanying it with scanty inscriptions.

Another participant passes in the case-the 20-year-old ethnic Turks. True, he has a witness status, because he managed to prove that he did not know the real age of the victim.

The name of the victim is Lisa. This is the same girl from the family of immigrants from Russia, the news of the alleged rape of which was a group of Arab migrants in January 2016 by a violent reaction of a part of the Russian -speaking diaspora in Germany. Moreover, with the help of official Russian media, an international politics factor. The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov then accused the German side of attempts to obscure the scandal and promised that the homeland would not remain indifferent to the fate of “our girl”.

In response, the then German colleague of Lavrov Frank-Walter Steinmeier, recommending not to intervene in internal affairs, said that "there is no reason and excuses to use the case that occurred with a 13-year-old girl, who was also not fully investigated," for political propaganda. "

All the details of how the lies of the teenage girl turned into a “fried fact” are already repeatedly and described in detail. It makes no sense to repeat them. In the honor of the Berlin police, investigators quickly and professionally were able to debunk the puffy sensation and establish the truth.

There were neither Arabs-Geners, nor rape, nor cruel beatings. Three months before the ill -fated incident, Lisa, of her own free will, talked with two age guys, entering into sexual contact with them. The numbers of their phones were in the girl’s mobile phone.

The trial of the trial could be calculated in the final in this case. However, it has long gone beyond the ordinary event. Protest shares in Berlin and other regions, organized not without the participation of right -wing nationalists, their large -scale lighting in Russian media turned children's deception into propaganda weapons.

The “Lisa case” has now firmly entered the political vocabulary as a common concept, as a symbol of hybrid warfare, conducted by the Kremlin in relation to the West.

German politicians turned the most serious attention to the incident in the Berlin district of Martsan, since, in their opinion, it stood on a par with other facts of external influence on the situation in the country, in particular, with attempts to hack computer networks of the Bundestag. On behalf of the department of the Federal Chancellor, the German intelligence services undertook to find out whether Moscow is striving to use the problems associated with refugees, destabilize the political situation and influence the outcome of the upcoming parliamentary elections.

In January, by exactly the anniversary of the “Lisa’s Case”, the working group of experts of intelligence and counterintelligence experts called Psyops (“Psychological operations”) presented the government with its report. And although the content of the 50-page document is still classified, its authors, according to the press,

It is argued that over the past years, the Russian authorities have purposefully trying to aggravate public conflicts in the EU countries and support political forces opposed to European integration.

In this regard, the President of the German Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BFV) Hans-Georg Mausen did not rule out that on the eve of the election in September this year, new special services should be expected by new attempts to disinform and spread fake news. He, not calling Russia as a direct source of threat, at the same time emphasized that previous hacker attacks on the German authorities had a Russian trace with all the obviously.

The fears of the main counterintelligence was unpleasant: in mid -February, the Lithuanian parliament by e -mail received a message that a group of German soldiers from the Bundeswehr unit located in the Baltic country under the NATO program, as if raped by a local girl.

Information about this fell into social networks. Lithuania and the army command immediately organized an operational investigation. The fact was not confirmed, and the sender's e-mail generally disappeared.

According to the high -ranking diplomats of the North Atlantic Alliance, an attempt was made to criminalize the NATO mission in order to undermine the confidence of the population against the military. And the Minister of Defense of Germany Ursula von der Leyen, referring to the “case of Lisa”, said that it was this example of false propaganda that taught to quickly respond to fakes and take protective measures in a timely manner.
