Charges Filed Against Suspects in Alleged Iranian-Assisted Assassination Plots in Germany
The German Federal Prosecutor’s Office has charged two men, Ali S. and Tawab M., for their involvement in alleged assassination plots orchestrated by the Iranian intelligence service targeting prominent Jewish leaders in Germany.
The charges include espionage, attempted murder, and arson, with Ali S. accused of gathering intelligence on Josef Schuster and Volker Beck, while Tawab M. allegedly sought to procure a weapon for a murder attempt. Both suspects were arrested in 2025, following international intelligence cooperation, including involvement from the Israeli Mossad. The Iranian government has denied the allegations, labeling them as unfounded.
