Fireworks rocket in apartment: Influencer causes excitement in Neukölln!

On New Year's Eve, a wild fireworks caused excitement in Neukölln when the 23-year-old influencer Atfluencer Atfallah Younes deliberately fired a fireworks rocket through the window of an apartment. This happened around 6:30 p.m. on Treptower Straße, where the rocket hit the window on the third floor and damaged the furniture in the bedroom of the 33-year-old apartment owner. Shockingly, the rapid action of the apartment owner could prevent worse damage because it immediately threw the burning parts out of the window. Fortunately, the family remained intact, as The Attorney General reports.

Three days later, Younes was arrested at BER Airport while trying to flee his home in West Bank. He received his arrest warrant due to the investigation due to attempted serious arson, which was initiated after the incident. In a now deleted Instagram video, Younes staged his dangerous stunt, which not only caused a sensation nationwide, but also attracted the attention of the Berlin police. According to Berliner Zeitung initially did not realize Younes that his action could result in criminal consequences.

legal consequences and reactions

In an interview, Younes expressed his lack of understanding about the investigation and repeated that he only wanted to celebrate because this was part of the German New Year's tradition. "I also don't know how a rocket works," he explained and thus expressed his ignorance of culture. Despite his apology to the apartment owner, it remains unclear how Younes will deal with the legal consequences after he had already reacted to the threat of the police to leave Germany. The investigation continues while Younes will be brought in front of a judge tomorrow.
