How did the various German security agencies handle information about the Magdeburg attacker before the attack, and what specific steps did each agency take?

The attack has prompted investigations into whether German security agencies missed warning signs. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) received social media tips about the attacker last summer, but as a non-investigative agency, it referred the information to relevant authorities. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) also received information from Saudi Arabia in November 2023, but the information was deemed insufficiently specific to warrant immediate action.
