 In 1997, 6 year old German-Iraqi Joseph Kantelberg-Abdulla, who suffered from a heart condition, had a heart attack and drowned in the local public swimming pool as neither mother nor 12-year-old sister looked after him.Three years later, his mother claimed that the boy had been tortured and drowned by no less than 50 neo-Nazis, wearing boots, tattoos, and all.While Der Spiegel did not buy the story, tabloid Bild took full advantage, dragging the town into national spotlight for about a week until the mother was being investigated by police for encouraging false accusations.
