Anschlagspläne: Möglicher Anschlag auf Drohnenfabrik – Festnahme in Hamburg
Ein Lette ist in Hamburg festgenommen worden. Er wird verdächtigt, einen Brandanschlag auf eine Drohnenfabrik in der Slowakei geplant zu haben. Wie es jetzt weitergeht.
In Hamburg, a 26-year-old Latvian man was arrested in connection with a potential arson attack at a drone manufacturing facility in Slovakia. The European arrest warrant issued by a Slovak court was enforced in Hamburg the day before, according to the General Prosecutor's Office. The office did not disclose the location or timing of the arrest, nor the specifics of the warrant. The suspect is currently in custody.
The General Prosecutor's Office plans to request the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court to issue an extradition order. Earlier, the news magazine "Der Spiegel" reported on the matter. On Tuesday, Slovak authorities announced the potential arson attack on Facebook. The intended target was a drone production facility located in the east of the EU and NATO member state.
The motives behind the thwarted plans have not been disclosed, including whether drones for Ukraine, which has been attacked by Russia, are being produced in the facility. Two suspects were arrested in Slovakia, and a third on the basis of a European arrest warrant in Germany, with the possibility of charges for endangering the public.
The men are accused of acting on behalf of third parties, but the authorities have not provided further details.
