German prosecutors leading the investigation into a far-right demonstration in Chemnitz have said there is no evidence a video showing protesters chasing down and attacking a foreigner is fake. The claims came in response to comments from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s domestic spy chief which questioned the authenticity of the recording. “We have no indications that the video could be a fake,” Mr Klein told the newspaper. Several migrants were hurt in the protests and Mrs Merkel’s spokesman said foreigners had been targeted and “hunted” by the far-right.
