Overview
- Police arrested the suspect on Tuesday near his residence, and a judge placed him in pre-trial detention on Wednesday.
- Investigators allege he carried out three incidents: a gasoline fire outside CSU headquarters early Sunday and two attacks on an AfD office in Perlach last week.
- Passersby extinguished the CSU blaze with a fire extinguisher, while the second AfD fire caused six-figure damage and destroyed a workshop.
- Authorities report no political slogans at the scenes and no claim of responsibility, but say a left-wing motive is considered likely.
- CSU official Martin Huber condemned the violence, while AfD legislator Rene Dierkes labeled it “terror” and called for a ban on Antifa.
