Russian secret service FSB arrests German citizen
According to its own information, the Russian domestic intelligence service FSB has arrested a German citizen in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad for allegedly planning acts of sabotage.
The man in question was born in Hamburg in 1967, Russian news agencies reported on Wednesday.
Upon entering the Russian Baltic Sea exclave from Poland, 50 grams of liquid explosives were seized in his car. According to a report by the "Rossija 24" broadcaster, this had been filled into shampoo bottles for camouflage purposes.
Ukrainian arranged
According to the news agency Ria Novosti, the man received the order for the attack from a Ukrainian who also lives in Hamburg. The arrested man also confessed to having carried out an explosives attack on a gas distribution station in the Kaliningrad region in March of this year. There was initially no independent confirmation of this information.
Repeated arrests of foreigners in Russia
The Federal Foreign Office in Berlin did not comment initially. It was said that it was keeping itself informed about the case. In the deep conflict between Moscow and the West over the war of aggression against Ukraine, foreigners are repeatedly arrested in Russia on more or less valid charges. It often seems as if they are being used as bargaining chips for a possible exchange. During a major prisoner exchange at the beginning of August, a man from Hamburg was released who had been arrested with hash gummy bears at St. Petersburg airport. However, the accusation of terrorism is much more serious.
