German authorities have detained another soldier who is believed to be involved in an alleged far-right plot to stage a false-flag terrorist attack against high-ranking pro-refugee politicians and blame it on asylum seekers.
The 27-year-old suspect, who the prosecutors identified as Maximilian T, was arrested in Kehl, Baden-Wurttemberg on Tuesday after military intelligence discovered a link between two suspects detained in late April.
“The accused is strongly suspected of planning a severe act of violence against the state out of a right-wing extremist conviction,” the prosecutor’s office in Karlsruhe said in a statement.
Maximilian T, the investigators discovered, was stationed at the same Franco-German base near Strasbourg as army lieutenant Franco Albrecht who was arrested in late April, and who was covering for his regular absences at the base.
Albrecht was first interrogated by Austrian police in February after he was caught trying to retrieve a loaded 7.65mm pistol he had hidden earlier in a toilet at Vienna airport. Throughout the course of the investigation, authorities discovered that the 28-year-old managed to create a false identity of a Syrian refugee that he allegedly planned to use as a cover to murder elected officials. Albrecht together with 24-year-old student Mathias F were arrested on April 26.
Prosecutors believe the trio wanted to attack high-ranking German politicians, who support the government’s refugee policies. The names on the hit list allegedly included Joachim Gauck who served as President of Germany from March 2012 to March 2017 and the current Justice Minister Heiko Maas.
