Threat: Federal prosecutor investigates gun find near Berlin

German authorities have discovered a hidden cache of weapons near Berlin, prompting an investigation by the federal prosecutor. The find, made last year, included two pistols and ammunition, which were rendered inoperable. The authorities suspect the weapons were intended for use in attacks, and a suspect was arrested in Romania in connection with the case.

The investigation, led by the Federal Prosecutor, is focused on possible espionage and preparations for a serious violent offence. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt warned of a high level of threat, citing multiple recent incidents.
