Overview

• Peter K. (65) and Thomas W. (62) confessed to planning a 1995 bomb attack on a Berlin deportation facility aimed at halting the deportation of Kurdish PKK supporters.
• The attack, involving over 120 kilograms of explosives, failed when police intervened during the handling of the materials, forcing the suspects to flee Germany.
• After decades in hiding abroad, the two men returned to Germany in late 2024, were detained at the Berlin airport, and subsequently stood trial.
• The Bundesanwaltschaft in Karlsruhe has requested suspended prison sentences of about two years for each defendant, citing their confessions and a negotiated agreement.
• The Berliner Kammergericht is set to deliver its verdict today, marking a significant step in addressing historical extremist crimes through modern judicial processes.
