Turner introduced himself and explained he was inquiring about an incident relating to displaying the Nazi symbol at the soccer match, adding that Sieben was not under arrest nor obliged to answer any questions.
Sieben said it was a long story but “the whole thing was disgusting, what was accused of me”.
“It had nothing to do with Nazis … nothing to do with the Hitler crap or any of that crap … it was blown out of proportion so much,” he said.
He told Turner he had a beer in one hand and his other hand was up in the air at the very moment the camera panned towards him, which “twisted the entire thing … it made me look like something I’m not”.
Sieben, who said he was Croatian, told police he was simply cheering on Sydney…
