Overview
- An investigating judge at the Federal Court of Justice ordered pretrial detention for Tawab M. after his transfer from Denmark to Germany on Sunday.
- Federal prosecutors suspect attempted participation in a killing, alleging he sought a weapon and tried to incite an unidentified person to attack Jewish targets in Germany.
- Authorities say he acted as an accomplice to Ali S., a Dane arrested in June who is accused of scouting locations in Berlin, including the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft and kosher supermarkets.
- Prosecutors attribute the tasking to the Al-Quds Brigades of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and say M. had been involved in obtaining weapons, accessories, and explosive-device technology.
- The Iranian embassy in Berlin rejects the allegations as unfounded, while investigators continue to seek the identity of the purported would-be attacker.
