Overview
- Investigators say 276 vehicles were targeted between December 8 and 11 last year across Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg and Berlin.
- Attackers reportedly filled exhaust pipes with construction foam and placed stickers showing Robert Habeck with the caption “SEI GRÜNER!”.
- Prosecutors now deem voter influence plausible based on the sticker messaging and timing shortly before the Bundestag election.
- Five suspects have been identified and remain at liberty, and an 18-year-old’s statement about a likely Serbian intermediary in Russia has not been corroborated.
- Police documented evidence including seized foam cans, house searches and dozens of alleged proof photos, as intelligence officials describe the method as consistent with low-level influence operations.
