| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Two citizens of the Russian Federation have been arrested in Germany on charges of collecting money for the terrorist group Islamic State. This was reported on July 25 by the German Prosecutor General's Office. “Today, July 25, 2024, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office arrested Russian citizens Abdulrashid D. and Surkho Z. in the district of the Duchy of Lauenburg and in Hamburg,” the message sent out states. The arrest was accompanied by searches at sites in Berlin, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Saxony. According to the German investigation, those arrested in early summer 2022 joined a terrorist organization, where they were collecting funds in Germany and other European countries. Donations were collected through social networks and sent to one of the members of the extremist organization. According to preliminary data, the collected funds were used to finance militants and their wives who are imprisoned in European prisons. Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that German police prevented a terrorist attack before the final match of the 2024 European Football Championship, which took place on July 15 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. The raids were carried out just a few hours before the final, the authors noted. According to this information, the attack was supposed to take place on Berlin's Breitscheidplatz square, where a fan zone with thousands of fans was located. In June, the German prosecutor's office reported the arrest of a man suspected of having links to ISIS (an organization whose activities are banned in Russia). He tried to get a job as a security guard at facilities related to Euro 2024, but failed the background check. |
