German police arrested a man in the Reutlingen district over the September arson attack on a Starlink facility in Poland. Stuttgart authorities allege he commissioned two men already detained in October. A judge enforced a remand warrant linked to suspected preparation of a terrorist offence. The earlier suspects’ extradition proceedings continue separately.
German special police units arrested a man in the Reutlingen district of Baden-Württemberg on November 3 over the September 23 arson attack on a Starlink satellite-internet facility in Poland. He appeared before an investigating judge in Stuttgart, who enforced a remand warrant. The warrant concerned strong suspicion of preparing a terrorist offence. Authorities identified the suspect as a Turkish citizen.[1], [2]
Stuttgart prosecutors and the Baden-Württemberg criminal police allege that the man commissioned two suspects already in custody to carry out the Polish attack. Authorities said they recovered 8 mobile phones and ammunition. The prosecution’s state-security unit opened a separate German investigation after receiving further information. The accusations describe the investigators’ case; they have not been established by a final conviction.[1]
Two other Turkish citizens were arrested in Nürtingen, Germany, on October 12 at Poland’s request. The next day, a judge served Poland’s European arrest warrants and ordered the men kept in custody. Stuttgart prosecutors are handling their extradition proceedings. Those proceedings run separately from the German national investigation concerning the newly arrested suspect, under which the latest remand warrant was enforced.[1]
