Germany to introduce ankle-tags for Islamists in wake of Berlin attack Germany to introduce ankle-tags for Islamists in wake of Berlin attack

Interior Minister Heiko Maas has said the German government is considering expanding rules surrounding ankle-tag tracking devices following reports the suspected killer in the Berlin attack was a known extremist who avoided criminal proceedings for violence this Summer by absconding.

Under the proposed new rules extremists could be tracked in this way. Presently, ankle bracelets are only permissible for individuals under suspicion if they have already served a three year term for violence or sexual assault, reports Welt.
