Germany arrests 19-year-old accused of running online groups that groomed teens into self-harm and incited a fatal stabbing at a Russian school
Germany’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office said it had detained a teenager identified as Kai M, who is suspected of belonging to two “right-wing extremist” criminal organizations.
German authorities arrested a 19-year-old individual, identified as Kai M, on March 17, 2026, for allegedly leading and participating in right-wing extremist criminal organizations. These groups targeted young individuals, primarily girls, on social media and gaming platforms, coercing them into harmful acts, self-harm, and even suicide.
According to prosecutors, members of one group incited a teenager in Russia to fatally stab a classmate at school, although the specific case is not identified by the office. Additionally, Kai M. is accused of urging murders of a U.S. citizen, exerting influence on teenagers in the U.S. and Sweden to set vehicles ablaze, and coercing a child from another European nation into performing sexual acts using a knife, resulting in severe injuries.
The most recent incident occurred in December 2025, when a 15-year-old student, Timofey K., was killed in a Russian school during a stabbing attack by a 10-year-old boy, Kobiljon Aliev.
