Two Belarusian men, aged 39 and 50, were arrested in the Nuremberg area of Bavaria, Germany, on suspicion of planning an arson attack against a building or facility of critical infrastructure. The attack was allegedly ordered by a foreign government or organization, with payment involved. The suspects have been held in pretrial detention since October 7, 2026, following arrest warrants issued by the Fürth District Court. The two men are also suspected of involvement in an arson attack in Romania. German investigators have recently uncovered multiple arrests related to sabotage attempts attributed to foreign intelligence agencies, with Russia suspected as the ordering party in several cases.
