Tunisian brother, who is being sought as the prime suspect for the attack on the Christmas market in Berlin, has urged his brother to surrender.
Amri Anis family, speaking from their homeland Oueslatia in Tunisia, said they were shocked when they learned that their son was suspected of Monday's attack, in which 12 people were killed.
Abdelkader brothers and Walid Anis said they had fled from Tunisia after the revolution of 2011 and lived in Italy for nearly 3 years. He has had regular contacts with his brothers in "Facebook" or by telephone.
In an interview with "Sky News Arabia" said Amri Abdelkader had not spoken to them about the life he had built away from Tunisia.
"When he left Tunisia was a normal man. He prayed not drink alcohol and never. I can say that has not believed in any religion. Father, brother and I have been and are believers, but he did not. Maybe it has been radicalized while in prison, where he met with the Algerians, Egyptians and Syrians. The last time I spoke with him before 10 days, we had a brief conversation. Never give more extensive information, but mentioned that soon would return home. We expected more from him, like he was a good kid, become the master of yourself and then also help our family. He entered the prison with another mentality and went from there to the different mentality. "
Meanwhile, talking about the "Associated Press" Abdelkader said that "if he is guilty, then deserves every kind of punishment. We reject terrorism and terrorists, we are not dealing with them. Surrender even call the police. If it is proved that he has a hand in that event, then we will distance ourselves from him. "
A neighbor of the family said that he had left Tunisia at age 16 or 17, after being accused of theft. He was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison in Tunisia, before leaving for Italy. Media from the Apennines have said Anis Amri was sentenced to prison because he had set fire to a school.
He arrived in Germany in July 2015, but his application for asylum was rejected in June this year. His deportation, however, was marred by Tunisia, who had refused him a Tunisian citizen for several months. Amr's father told the Tunisian radio "Mosaique" that his son had left the country seven years ago as an illegal immigrant.
