After the terrorist attacks of the past months in Germany, the German secret service is now investigating whether Russia could be behind the attacks. According to media reports, it is about suspicion that Russia could have caused asylum seekers in Germany to have caused attacks.
In recent months there have been a number of terrorist attacks in German cities, such as in Munich, Aschaffenburg or Magdeburg. Several people died. Asylum seekers and refugees were identified as alleged perpetrators. What was striking: the attacks were all committed before the German elections of the Bundestag in February.
The German secret service is now investigating whether Russia could have something to do with it, as the British newspaper “The Telegraph” reports. The suspicion: Russia would have tried to recruit spiritually sick or radicalized asylum seekers, so that they set up attacks before the elections on 23 February.
Attacks were “the best way” for many AFD votes
The goal was to strengthen the right -wing populist and as a Russian -friendly party AfD shortly before the elections. Some attacks took place when the AfD was dealing with poorer survey values, “The Telegraph” quotes a German security officer. Diplomation circles of the European Union (EU) are said that the survey values of the AfD before the elections were noticeable. In the elections on February 23, the AfD received the second most votes with 20.8 percent.
Security Officer: Russia works together with Strohmann Agents
“We know that the Russians are working with straw agents, small criminals on the street to make it more difficult to identify the true brain,” reports a German security officer in the “The Telegraph”. According to German sources, there were cases where small criminal and drug dealers of suspects to participate in the hidden war of Russia against the West. They “collapsed and admitted” in interrogations and admitted that they had been recruited by Moscow.
The source of EU diplomat circles also emphasizes on the newspaper that these assumptions so far are alone: a theory. The German security authorities must now check them, but “there are many arguments to at least investigate this theory.”
