BERLIN – A former Berlin police officer who tore off the head of an Adolf Hitler waxwork at a new museum in the German capital will probably not have to pay for damages because he is destitute, a magazine reported on Saturday.
The 41-year-old scuffled with guards and leapt over a rope barrier before tearing off Hitler’s head just minutes after Berlin’s new Madame Tussauds opened last week. The headless Hitler waxwork worth 200 000 euros was removed for repairs.”It is not possible to seize anything from anyone with a monthly income of under 985 euros,” a spokeswoman for Berlin’s Justice Ministry, Katrin-Elena Schoenberg, told Focus magazine.Madame Tussauds plans to return the waxwork of the Nazi ruler as soon as experts have restored the damaged head.Nampa-ReutersThe headless Hitler waxwork worth 200 000 euros was removed for repairs.”It is not possible to seize anything from anyone with a monthly income of under 985 euros,” a spokeswoman for Berlin’s Justice Ministry, Katrin-Elena Schoenberg, told Focus magazine.Madame Tussauds plans to return the waxwork of the Nazi ruler as soon as experts have restored the damaged head.Nampa-Reuters
