Details: A spokesperson for the Karlsruhe Prosecutor's Office stated that one of the suspects is accused of organising the transport of goods for several years to the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts occupied by Russia.
Law enforcement officials reported that the man is under investigation on suspicion of supporting a foreign terrorist organisation. The property searched is located in the Dahme-Spreewald district.
The spokesperson stated that the suspect was not arrested. No information was provided about the specific types of goods supposedly transported.
Background:
Recently, Politico reported that a German tech company may have exported technology to Russia despite new European Union sanctions imposed over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
In early January 2025, it was also reported that Finland continues to record attempts to export sanctioned goods to Russia, despite having closed the Finnish-Russian border a year earlier.
