Federal Prosecutor's Office investigating: Gun discovery near Berlin: Investigators examine agent suspicion
A media investigation reveals inquiries into a weapons find near Berlin last year. Interior Minister Dobrindt gives an insight into the investigations.
German authorities have discovered a hidden cache of weapons in a forest near Berlin, fuelling concerns about a high level of threat to the country. The find was made last October, but details have only just emerged, and it is believed that the weapons may have been placed there on the instructions of a foreign intelligence service.
A suspect, who is being held in Romania, is thought to have been involved in plans for attacks, and investigators believe that the weapons may have been intended for use in these attacks. The case is seen as part of a broader pattern of hybrid threats, and comes amid heightened tensions with Russia.
