“Bluffing reporter held in the false collection”
“The German journalist Claas Relotius, revealed to have found the stories to their articles for several years, has also made money on its readers.”
“After writing a story about a syrian syskonpar who lived on the street in Turkey – a story which proved to contain a lot of inaccuracies and which is now being examined – total Relotius money for kids from readers. The money ended up in his own bank account, writes the magazine Der Spiegel.”
“Claas Relotius was employed by Der Spiegel, which is now investigating all the texts he had written for the magazine.”
“It is unknown how many of the readers who donated money and how the large sums it is all about. The newspaper writes that it had knowledge of the collection and will hand over all the data available to the judiciary.”
“In a recently published journalistic anthology wrote Relotius that he with the help of the money been able to bring the children to a German läkarpar who adopted them – which is also not true.”
