Overview
- The suspect was taken into provisional custody on a train arriving from Denmark to Flensburg by federal police and the BKA on Thursday.
- Prosecutors allege he received a fully automatic rifle, eight pistols, and more than 600 rounds in Hesse in August and delivered them to a Berlin suspect, where the weapons were later found.
- He is to be presented to an investigative judge at the Federal Court of Justice on Friday on suspected violations of the War Weapons Control Act and the Weapons Act.
- Two alleged accomplices are already in pretrial detention, including one arrested earlier this week after entering from Czechia and another held since early October.
- Authorities link the case to cross-border actions including Danish searches, a Vienna cache of five handguns and ten magazines, and a London arrest tied to transporting weapons to Austria; investigators cite no concrete attack plan but say the arms were intended for attacks on Israeli or Jewish targets.
