An “internal police memo” which detailed “a request from the ministry” instructed police that they were to “cancel” the use of the word “rape” in their reports.

Speaking to the Express, a spokesman for minister Jäger admitted there had been “coordination meetings” between the government and police in the aftermath of the attacks. The paper called the notes and meetings nothing less than a “cover up”.

These revelations may make uneasy reading for minister Jäger, having already courted some controversy for firing [archive] his chief of police after revelations that officers were too overstretched to effectively control the migrant riot in Cologne on New Year’s Eve.

Although the decision to sack the veteran officer was claimed to be over restoring faith in the force, just days later it was revealed [archive] the chief of police had foreseen trouble and appealed to minister Jäger for backup. The NRW politician turned down the request for more officers, exacerbating what was the most chaotic night in Cologne in decades.
