State security investigates suspected arson at AfD carA vehicle burned out in Darmstadt around 4:25 a.m. Saturday; two other cars were damaged.
- Early Saturday morning, a blue Citroën burned out completely on Spreestraße in central Darmstadt; AfD co-state spokesperson Robert Lambrou identified it as belonging to the Darmstadt district association.
- After examining the wreck, investigators said they suspected arson, while the State Security Division of the South Hesse police headquarters took over inquiries into the background and possible suspects.
- Police estimated the property damage at several thousand euros, while the AfD put the burned car’s damage at about €3,000 and offered a €10,000 reward for information.
- A previously unknown Darmstadt Action Collective claimed responsibility in a published statement and alleged that Christopher Groß’s car had been set alight near his home; the statement’s authenticity remains unverified.
As the recent events in Darmstadt show, in the fight against fascism one cannot trust the state or the police. Therefore we have decided to take matters into our own hands and do something against fascist propaganda.— Lilly Wandrey, in a manifesto attributed to the Darmstädter Aktionskollektív; regarding the Darmstadt attack on an AfD vehicle.
