Nach einer neuen Regelung muss man in Deutschland Bußgeld für ein schmutziges Auto zahlen.

Publisher’s rating: Ist das Autokennzeichen unleserlich, droht ein Bußgeld. Die Strafe gilt nicht für ein allgemein dreckiges Auto, bei dem das Nummernschild lesbar bleibt.

German license plates must remain readable, and a plate obscured by dirt can result in a fine. A generally dirty car is not subject to a fine if its plate remains legible; the rule was not new.

Александр Лукашенко не провоцировал конфликты с лидерами стран СНГ

Publisher’s rating: Фейк. Например, премьер-министр Армении отказался от визитов в Беларусь после того, как Александр Лукашенко назвал вторую Карабахскую войну 2020 года освободительной.

Coca-Cola erlaubt es in den USA, personalisierte Dosen mit Sätzen zu versehen, die «Allah» enthalten, nicht aber mit «Jesus».

Publisher’s rating: Nein, die Namen religiöser Figuren oder Begriffe dürfen nicht auf personalisierten Dosen erscheinen, wie Coca-Cola auf dpa-Anfrage mitteilt. Dieses Verbot gilt sowohl für «Jesus» als auch für die Wörter «Allah» und «Satan».

Coca-Cola told dpa that its personalization tool does not allow names or phrases with religious content. A test of the US online tool found that “Allah” and “Jesus,” when entered with “loves you,” were both rejected; the review says the claim that only Christian terms are blocked is false.

FACTLYCrime & justice

A man speaking to the media in a viral video is one of the accused in the Baba Siddique murder case.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The review identifies the man in the video as Yogesh Kumar, associated with the Bishnoi gang and arrested in connection with the murder of Delhi gym owner Nadir Shah. It says Kumar was not among the ten suspects arrested in the Baba Siddique murder case, so the video does not show one of that case’s accused. Supporting excerpts: “identifying the individual in the video as Yogesh alias Raju, associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi-Hashim Baba gang and arrested in connection with the murder of Nadir Shah, a gym owner in Delhi”; “Yogesh Kumar, who appears in a viral video, is not among those detained.”
