Munich police are increasing their presence at the Bundesliga game between FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena this evening (6:30pm) after receiving information about a suspected threat. This is because the photo is aimed at the stadium and the spectators. The film was released on Friday evening on the X platform and the writer(s) are said to be close to the terrorist organization Islamic State.

As a Munich police spokesman told a German press agency on Saturday, the police and the state criminal police office intensively evaluated the photo that night and came to the clear conclusion that there were no concrete findings of danger. The portal “D-Online” and “Build” reported about this earlier.
The spokesman stressed that the game would go ahead as planned, but that the presence of emergency services would be increased. At a good game in this category, 300 to 500 people are usually stopped. “We are now increasing this number,” he said. It is not yet known exactly how many officers will be on duty in and around the stadium. FC Bayern said they are in contact with the police.
The Islamic State terrorist group recently claimed responsibility for an attack on a concert hall near Moscow. At least 144 people were killed in the incident.
