Roger Waters has dismissed the allegations surrounding his appearance in Berlin as "malicious attacks" The 79-year-old singer had performed at a concert last week in a long black leather coat and a red armband. The Berlin police are now investigating for incitement to hatred, because the clothing resembles that of an SS officer.

Waters wants his outfit to be understood as a "clear sign against fascism and injustice" The Federal Government Commissioner for Anti-Semitism, Felix Klein, has called for further legal action.
