Germany's First Lady Bettina Wulff has been reported to police for making what looks suspiciously like the banned Heil Hitler! salute on the steps of the presidential palace in Berlin.
Police are obliged to investigate the complaint against the wife of president Christian Wulff - even though it has been made by a neo-Nazi.
Franc Rennicke, a member of the far right NPD party who made an unsuccessful bid to become president himself earlier this year, sent the photo to prosecutors.
It shows 45-year-old Mrs. Wulff with her right hand rigidly raised in what looks like the banned salute although aides say the camera has just caught her wave at the ``wrong angle.´´
“For decades the so-called German greeting has been outlawed and thousands of people have been taken to court for making it,“ wrote Rennicke. “The photo of her outside Scholss Bellvue in Berlin clearly
shows her making this banned gesture".
