- The 48-year-old was arrested near Weisweiler power plant and is being held in pretrial detention in Aachen.
- Investigators found a notebook in his motorhome containing notes on more than 160 previous and possible sabotage targets.
- Homemade rockets allegedly caused short circuits at least twice and disabled individual power-plant units; there were no civilian injuries.
- The Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating suspected constitutional sabotage; the Federal Criminal Police Office leads the police inquiries.
This was likely to undermine public confidence in the protection of critical infrastructure and thus have a harmful impact on the internal security of the Federal Republic.— Bundesanwaltschaft

- On September 1, unknown persons placed conductive material on high-voltage lines in Jänschwalde to cause short circuits.
- Initial police findings indicate a deliberate short circuit in Bergheim; five lignite power units had to be taken offline.
- Authorities suspect a coordinated attack, but those responsible remain unknown; general power supplies stayed unaffected in both states.
- After June’s Reutlingen fire, investigators suspect arson; 7,600 buildings and 40,000 people temporarily lost power.
The signs are accumulating that both attacks are part of a coordinated attack on our energy supply.— Brandenburg Interior Minister Jan Redmann said after the attacks.
