Interior Intelligence Chief Hans-Georg Maassen is forced to resign from this post and go to a top post in the Interior Ministry.
The government's decision came after an ire of Maassen's response to extreme right-right riots at Chemnitz.
The “video <x1migrant> was reported on August 26th after a German was killed fighting immigrants.
Massen suspected that people who looked like foreigners had been threatened, reports the BBC.
Chancellor Angela Merkel fired her.

The chief of spying, Maassen, said his federal office for constitutional protection ( BfV) Which is similar to British MI5 there was no “reliable information about these shootings happening”.
