Federal Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating: Suspicions of attack plans after discovery of weapons in Berlin

German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has revealed that a cache of weapons was discovered in a forest near Berlin last October, sparking concerns over potential attack plans. The find, which included two pistols and ammunition, is being investigated by federal prosecutors, who suspect that a suspect in Romanian custody may have been working on behalf of a foreign power.

The suspect, described as a "low-level agent", is believed to have been involved in plans for attacks in Romania and possibly elsewhere. The case has heightened concerns over hybrid threats and the involvement of foreign powers, with some politicians pointing to Russia as the likely culprit.
