Berlin’s Hidden Stash – German authorities have uncovered a tiny cache of rifles and ammunition tucked in a forest just outside Berlin. The discovery has raised alarms about potential assassinations carried out on behalf of Russian intelligence services.
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt confirmed the find but stopped short of stating a direct Russian link. He noted that the weapons could be “intended for use in attacks” and that the suspects involved likely belonged to foreign operatives.
The investigation also involves a Romanian suspect, detained for links to planned parcel‑bomb attacks that could be tied to this case. Dobrindt spoke about the suspect as a “low‑level agent,” giving no nationality and stressing that the case is part of a broader European threat‑monitoring effort.
This isn’t the first time Germany has warned about Russian plots. In 2024, a CNN report flagged a plan to kill the chief of the country’s biggest arms manufacturer, Rheinmetall, and in 2021 the murder of a Berlin park‑walker was linked to Moscow’s directives.
With a renewed threat level declared, Berlin’s police have kept the forest area under surveillance for months, yet no foreign figures have surfaced near the cache. German intelligence now seeks a clearer picture of whether Moscow’s death squads are operating beyond the eye of the West.
