Hide near Berlin: Hide on behalf of Russia? Investigations after finding weapons
After finding two guns near Berlin, investigators are following up on clues pointing to possible connections with Russian intelligence services. This is what a media investigation has uncovered.
German security authorities discovered a hidden cache of two pistols near Berlin last year, according to reports by NDR, WDR, and Süddeutsche Zeitung. The media outlets claim that the weapons may have been placed there on the orders of Russian intelligence services, possibly for use in planned "kinetic operations" such as attacks.
The case is now being investigated by the Federal Prosecutor General, and a suspect was reportedly arrested in Romania in the autumn. The suspect is believed to have hidden the weapons in the Brandenburg border region near the capital.
