The story about a Russian-German girl being raped by migrants was fake and part of a coordinated Russian disinformation campaign.
The case of Lisa dominated the headlines and impacted on German public discourse for two weeks in January 2016. The 13-year-old Russian German girl had gone missing for 30 hours and was reported by first Russian television to have been raped by migrants. The story turned out to be fake. In parentheses, the German police were able to establish that she had been with a friend that night.
