Overview

  • Eight search warrants were executed across Berlin, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with 90 LKA officers involved.
  • Investigators seized mobile phones, data carriers and clothing, which are being analyzed for video evidence and to identify additional participants.
  • Five men and three women aged 17 to 22 are suspected of taking part in the August 10 assault on two journalists at Ostkreuz.
  • An 18-year-old was taken into custody on an arrest warrant that cites repeated-offense risk and additional alleged attacks from 2024; he is to appear before an investigating judge.
  • Authorities link the suspects to the Deutsche Jugend Voran network classified as right-wing extremist, and say the probe continues after earlier temporary detentions following the August incident.
