Detained for alleged intelligence work and affiliation with the foreign terror outfit, 'Donetsk People's Republic (DPRK)'
In a significant development, the Federal Court of Justice has issued an arrest warrant for Dieter S. on April 11, 2024, in connection with membership in a foreign terrorist organization and the preparation of a serious act of violence endangering the state. The arrest was carried out by officers of the Federal Criminal Police Office in Bayreuth.
Dieter S. is also accused of conspiring to cause an explosion using explosives and arson, espionage for the purpose of sabotage, and endangering security by creating images of military facilities. The suspect is strongly suspected of having been active for a foreign intelligence service in a particularly serious case.
The discussions between Dieter S. and his conversation partner, whose connection to a Russian intelligence agency has been established since at least October 2023, involved potential acts of sabotage in the Federal Republic of Germany, aimed at undermining military support to Ukraine. Dieter S. gathered information about potential targets, including facilities of the US Armed Forces, and scouted some targeted objects on site, taking photos and videos, such as military transports and equipment.
The collected information was transmitted to Dieter S.'s conversation partner. Dieter S. offered to carry out explosions and arson attacks, specifically targeting military infrastructure and industrial sites in Germany. The Bavarian State Criminal Police Office provided support in the search of the suspects' residences and workplaces.
The Federal Prosecutor's Office issued arrest warrants for Dieter S. and Alexander J. on April 9 and 11, 2024. Alexander J., who is accused of assisting Dieter S. from March 2024, will be presented before the investigating judge of the Federal Court of Justice on April 18, 2024. However, the charges and accusations against Alexander J. were not specified in the provided information.
Dieter S. was presented to the investigating judge of the Federal Court of Justice on April 17, 2024, and the arrest warrant from April 9, 2024, was executed. It is important to note that Dieter S. is not linked to membership in a Russian terrorist organization or the preparation of a severe state-threatening attack in the provided information.
This case underscores the ongoing efforts by German authorities to protect the country from terrorist activities and espionage, particularly in the context of international conflicts. The investigation is ongoing, and further details will be released as they become available.
