Kriminalität: Brandanschläge auf Münchner Rüstungsunternehmen
Nach einer Brandattacke auf eine Münchner Baustelle geht Bayerns Innenminister Herrmann von einem Anschlag mit politischem Hintergrund aus - und sieht ein größer werdendes Risiko.
Three Bulgarian men have been arrested after arson attacks targeting a construction site near Munich's Ostbahnhof and several German military and security companies. Bayern's Interior Minister, Joachim Herrmann, described these incidents as "brand attacks" with a possible political motive. The Bavarian Central Office for Combating Extremism and Terrorism (ZET), located in Munich's General Prosecution Office, is leading the investigation.
Herrmann warned of an increased risk of attacks on Germany's own infrastructure and military companies, citing similar events in Leipzig, power transmission towers, and now these latest attacks on Munich's military firms. Two of the arrested suspects, aged 28 and 38, were Bulgarian citizens who initially denied the accusations. The attacks involved throwing fire-starting materials from a car and setting fires that were extinguished by police.
No significant damage was reported. The Minister of Economy, Hubert Aiwanger, called for better protection of German companies and infrastructure, emphasizing that this is not the first incident targeting technology firms near the security and defense industry.
