Munich Car Attack Suspect Faces Upgraded Charges Including Double Murder

The Bundesanwaltschaft has issued a new arrest warrant for Farhad N., a 24-year-old Afghan suspect, as investigations into possible Islamist motives and his mental health continue.

Farhad N., the suspect in the February 13, 2025, Munich car attack, now faces charges of double murder, attempted murder, and bodily harm in 54 cases under a new arrest warrant issued by the Bundesanwaltschaft.
The attack, which targeted a Gewerkschaft Verdi protest, resulted in the deaths of a 37-year-old mother and her two-year-old daughter, along with 39 injuries.
Authorities suspect the act was religiously motivated, potentially linked to Islamist radicalization, and intended as an attack on Germany's democratic order.
The suspect has been transferred to a psychiatric facility for evaluation to determine his criminal responsibility, though investigators currently believe he is mentally fit to stand trial.
The case has raised broader concerns about public safety at mass gatherings and the challenges of addressing extremist influences within Germany.
