Former police officer too destitute to pay for damage, magazine reports
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 about $300,000 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.
The man, arrested but later released and placed under investigation for bodily harm and damage to property, said he was angry at the exhibit. He said he carried out the attack to win a bet.
