  "description": "The German Federal Prosecutor's Office has arranged the arrest in Denmark of a suspected spy accused of gathering intelligence on Jewish institutions and individuals in Germany for an Iranian intelligence service. The suspect, a Danish national of Afghan descent, was reportedly tasked earlier in 2025 to collect information in Berlin on Jewish locations and persons, conducting surveillance on three sites in June. Authorities suspect this espionage was preparatory for potential further intelligence operations or even attacks against Jewish targets in Germany. Danish police detained the individual in Aarhus, and he is to be extradited to Germany to face proceedings. The Federal Criminal Police Office is leading the investigative efforts.",

The suspect conducted physical surveillance of three Jewish sites in June, including photographing properties affiliated with the German-Israeli Society. Authorities suggest the espionage aimed to prepare for further intelligence or violent operations targeting Jewish communities in Germany. Arrested in Aarhus, Denmark, the individual is to be extradited to Germany for judicial proceedings, with investigation led by the Federal Criminal Police Office.
