Berlin Police Arrest Suspect Linked to Explosive Material Case

Months after a 2024 incident involving TATP explosives in Neukölln, authorities have detained a second suspect believed to be connected to the case.

In October 2024, police discovered 530 grams of TATP, a highly volatile explosive, during a routine check at Neukölln S-Bahn station in Berlin.
The original suspect fled the scene, leaving behind the explosive material, which was later detonated safely by authorities in a nearby park.
The explosive substance TATP has been associated with both terror attacks and the destruction of ATMs, though no planned attack was linked to this case.
The initial suspect, a 34-year-old man, died in November 2024 in a separate incident involving explosives in Niedersachsen, Germany.
On February 23, 2025, Berlin police arrested a second suspect, believed to be the deceased man’s accomplice, after an extended investigation and manhunt.
