Incendiary devices by post?: Sentence expected against alleged Russian agents
Three men are said to have prepared attacks on transport routes on behalf of Russia. Now, a verdict is to be handed down against the men in Stuttgart.
The Stuttgart Higher Regional Court is set to deliver its verdict on three young Ukrainian men accused of preparing attacks on Germany's cargo traffic on behalf of Russia. The men, aged 22, 25, and 30, were arrested in May in Cologne, Konstanz, and the Swiss canton of Thurgau. They are accused of sending packages with GPS trackers to the Ukraine in March 2025 to gather information on a parcel service's routes and transport operations, with the aim of later sending packages with incendiary devices.
The prosecution has demanded prison sentences of between 2 years and 9 months and 4 years and 3 months for the accused.
