German Prosecutors Charge Two Men in Alleged Iranian-Assisted Murder Plot
The German Federal Prosecutor’s Office has charged two individuals, Ali S. and Tawab M., for allegedly preparing assassination attempts against former Green Party politician Volker Beck and Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, on behalf of Iranian authorities.
Ali S., a Danish national of Afghan descent, is accused of working for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and gathering intelligence on the targets, while Tawab M. allegedly agreed to procure a weapon for the assassination. Beck, who has publicly criticized the German government’s approach to Iran, emphasized the importance of Israeli intelligence in thwarting the plot and called for stronger actions against Iranian diplomatic representatives in Germany.
