Minister rephrased: Official in charge. - Authorities probe into incidents involving hate speech.

A number of instances have been reported in Münsterland where groups of people have shouted racist party songs similar to the one from Sylt in recent days. The state protection is currently investigating all these cases, suspecting incitement to hatred. There have been several complaints filed about these incidents.

Witnesses claim that on Saturday, a group of young men got out of a minibus in Coesfeld and sang racist slogans, matching the tune of the popular club hit "L'amour toujours" by DJ Gigi D'Agostino on the street. The witnesses asked them to stop, and they were left insulted in return. The police have identified six men aged 29 to 43 as potential suspects, all of whom were inebriated.

Previously, on Thursday, unknown individuals were heard repeating the slogans from the Sylt video in Hörstel. Similar occurrences took place on Friday with young people in Havixbeck and Münster.
