„Wegwerf-Agenten“ Russlands?: Geldstrafen und Arbeitsstunden für Bauschaum-Attacken
Jugendlicher Blödsinn oder hybride Kriegsführung? Drei Menschen werden wegen Bauschaum-Attacken auf Autos in mehreren Bundesländern verurteilt. Die Identität möglicher Drahtzieher bleibt im Dunkeln.
Russian "Disposable Agents": Fines and Forced Labor for Bauma-Attack Attacks
Three individuals have been found guilty of vandalizing parked vehicles with foam insulation and leaving messages supporting the Green Party in four German states. The 18- and 22-year-old men were fined 3,000 euros each, while the 21-year-old woman was ordered to complete 50 hours of community service. All three were judged as juveniles and admitted their guilt in court.
The prosecution requested higher fines and more community service, while the defense attorneys agreed with the state's assessment but sought lower amounts. The group damaged numerous cars in December 2024, filling the vehicles' exhaust pipes with foam insulation and attaching stickers with the slogan "BE GREEN!" and an image of former Green Economy Minister Robert Habeck.
Authorities believe this was an attempt to influence the 2025 Bundestag election, harming the Green Party. However, the individuals' alleged recruiters have been identified. The Federal Office for Protection of the Constitution has long warned of Russian secret services recruiting "throwaway agents" for espionage, sabotage, propaganda, or surveillance in Germany.
