Merkel created that situation, why would she send any condolences? I don't know what exactly they are expecting, justice isn't going to come from Merkel.

German government accused of blocking Anis Amri investigation | DW | 11.06.2018

The Bundestag launched a fresh investigation into the Amri case in early March. In the months that followed the 2016 attack, it was revealed that Germany's state and federal security forces had made a series of mistakes. Intelligence agencies were criticized for failing to track Amri before the attack, even though he had been identified as a potential threat, and had indeed briefly been in custody for drug dealing. Moreover, immigration offices faced scrutiny because Amri had apparently been able to register as an asylum seeker under various aliases and nationalities.

The three MPs also complained that the government was pursuing "salami tactics" about disclosing information on the Amri case — especially when it comes to the role of domestic intelligence.

"You might remember that in the first few days after the attack we were told, 'Amri took drugs and watched porn films, so how should we know that he was an Islamist?'" said von Notz. "And now they establish that for years he was under the focus of all the agencies and had contacts with radicals. The idea that the government has a tactical relationship with information — that is certainly a theory one could develop."
