  "description": "On November 6, 2025, German police detained a 31-year-old Romanian man in the central town of Hanau for painting swastikas on about 50 cars, mailboxes, and building facades using his own blood. The man reportedly acted under the influence of alcohol and had personal and job-related motives. The display of Nazi emblems such as swastikas is illegal in Germany. Police arrested him after a witness tip-off. The incident drew attention to the symbolic and disturbing nature of the vandalism.",
