Could any Germans here please confirm or deny this article and if it's true explain why it could happen?

Quote:
The Munich resident who hurled insults at shooter Ali David Sonboly as he was carrying out an attack on a shopping mall has been accused of libel, the Munich prosecutor has announced.
Thomas Salbey became an internet sensation after footage of him
hurling abuse at Sonboly, from the balcony of his fifth floor apartment
was posted on Twitter.
But while many praised Mr. Salbey for standing up to the gunman – who
aimed shots in his direction – Florian Weinzierl, a spokesman for the
Munich prosecutor, has confirmed that Mr. Salbey is to be charged with
libel for his comments. It is not known who reported Mr. Salbey to the
authorities.
