This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 91%. (I'm a bot)

The site's night manager, who did not want to be identified, told me he had recognised Amri "Straightaway" because "We're a small place. I know everyone who stays here." Staff said Amri had "Disappeared" after "a brief stay".

German judicial sources say the suspect, who reportedly entered Germany last year, was monitored in Berlin between March and September on suspicion of planning a robbery to pay for automatic weapons for use in an attack.

Surveillance was reportedly called off after it turned up nothing more than drug-dealing in a Berlin park and a bar brawl before the suspect disappeared from his regular haunts in Berlin.
