Overview
- Parliamentary offices across several factions received packages this week containing a USB stick and an English-language letter.
- The Bundestag police instructed recipients not to connect the devices and to forward them in a separate envelope to authorities.
- A CDU spokesperson said no known cases involved a stick being plugged in, with recipients either handing them over or destroying them.
- The Bundestag administration also issued a warning email, the AfD reported multiple affected MPs, and Die Linke said it had no reports of receiving such packages.
- Formal checks are underway, and officials have released no findings about the contents of the sticks or the sender.
