Brandanschlag: Sabotage in Polen: Zwei Verdächtige in Deutschland gefasst

Two suspects suspected of committing a sabotage attack on a Starlink station in Poland were apprehended in Germany, according to Polish government sources. The Landeskriminalamt (LKA) in Stuttgart confirmed that in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg, two men were arrested on Polish request without disclosing the background details. They are expected to be brought before a detention officer throughout the day.

The German police acted upon an order from Polish secret services to arrest the two Turkish citizens suspected of setting fire to the Starlink station in Masowien. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated on X that the suspect saboteurs would have to answer to Polish justice. The Polish government suspects Russian secret services behind the incident.

A spokeswoman for the Baden-Württemberg Landeskriminalamt said two Turkish nationals were arrested at Nürnberg Bahnhofstraße on Monday. Earlier, several media outlets reported, including the Schwäbische Zeitung, about the arrest. The police in Berlin-Spandau reportedly also detained another suspect, possibly the driver of the other two men. Poland assumes Russian agents were behind the operation.
