Versteck nahe Berlin: Versteck im Auftrag Russlands? Ermittlungen nach Waffenfund

In the past year, German security agencies discovered a hidden location near Berlin containing two pistols. This information comes from NDR, WDR, and Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) based on their own research. The pistols are suspected to have been placed on behalf of Russian intelligence services, possibly for use in "kinetic operations" ordered by Moscow, such as attacks.

Authorities are now investigating the case, with a suspect reportedly arrested in Romania in the fall. The suspect may have set up the hidden weapons cache near Berlin's border with Brandenburg. Initially, the two pistols found in the cache were rendered inoperable by authorities, but the hideout itself remained untouched. Surveillance was conducted at the site, yet no success was achieved.

The Trespassers likely became aware of the weapon discovery and avoided the location to evade detection. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution commented on the matter only when requested by Deutsche Presse-Agentur, but took a general stance of not making any public statements on specific intelligence findings or activities. Consequently, it is not stated whether the situation is true or not.
