Denunciations as a calling. “Master of denunciations” from Germany wants to move to Sweden (3 photos)
The 18-year-old “master of denunciations,” misunderstood in his homeland, announced plans to emigrate from Germany to Sweden. To write denunciations there.
Niklas Mattei from Gräfenhainichen, Germany, became famous throughout the country by writing 4,227 complaints against neighbors in a year. On social networks, he calls himself a “master of denunciations.”
Niklas patrols the city on a bicycle in a bright reflective suit and looks for those who break parking rules. He immediately takes a photo on his smartphone and reports the violators to the police. In his hometown, he has already denounced 8% of the residents, which is why he constantly faces insults and aggression. Almost all local residents interviewed by BILD sharply criticized the informer. But he says that “fear is alien to him.”
The guy doesn’t let officials get away with it either, closely monitoring how they spend these funds. He is not afraid to find fault with the police either: he recently reprimanded patrol officers for having a dirty license plate on their car. The young man turned around and left the city. His goal is to convict at least one violator throughout Germany. Recently in Chemnitz he reported on the famous rapper Finch.
Thousands of people are already following his movements and activities. But there are also disadvantages to this fame. Many are extremely unhappy with him; the young man has already been attacked several times.
In an interview with BILD, he said that he was considering moving to Sweden.
There, in the city of Uppsala, everyone is paid 100 kroons (about 8.7 euros) for information about illegal parking, Niklas told reporters.
The mayor of Gräfenhainichen, Enrico Schilling, despite the fact that the total amount of fines from violators amounted to 140,000 euros. extremely dissatisfied with the guy. At the annual carnival, he wrote a poster ridiculing the informer: “The artist has a paste/ And [Grafen]heinichen has an informer-hauptmeister!”
According to the official, Mattei's thousands of complaints are paralyzing police work. In addition, he sows discord among the townspeople. Several of them have already filed retaliatory complaints against the young man. “Such antics cannot be tolerated. We are considering all legal measures,” the mayor told BILD. “I dream that his special talent will find another area of application.”
Actually, Niklas has already found it, having decided to move to Sweden.
I would have become a millionaire there in one fell swoop,” Niklas said. — Snow and cold do not bother the denunciation master. <...>
Of course, I would go alone. I just need money for a plane ticket and maybe professional photography equipment or a company car
The young man is not yet ready to spend his savings on moving to Uppsala. But in Germany, thousands of denunciations do not make him rich. He launched a fundraiser for his work, aiming for €100,000. But in a month I collected only 4,000 euros. This is hardly enough to emigrate to Sweden. </...>
