According to a media report, the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office is now investigating the case of an air freight parcel fire in Leipzig in July that was allegedly initiated by Russia. A spokesperson for the Karlsruhe authority told Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND): "The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating parcel shipments that caught fire in July while being transported via the DHL freight center in Leipzig." The Federal Public Prosecutor General becomes active, among other things, when criminal offenses are directed against the Federal Republic of Germany.
The chairman of the Parliamentary Control Committee (PKGr) of the Bundestag, Konstantin von Notz (Green Party), told RND: "If the suspicion that this was a targeted sabotage operation is confirmed, then we are dealing with a highly dramatic and serious incident. I expect all security authorities and the judiciary to work flat out to fully clarify the background."
