Award-winning journalist admits to faking stories for years
Award-winning German journalist Claas Relotius has admitted to faking stories over a seven-year period. Relotius "made up stories and invented protagonists" in at least 14 out of 60 articles he wrote for Der Spiegel, the German magazine said. Fraudulent stories by Relotius included one about prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, immigration and US-Mexico border and US football player Colin Kaepernick.
