Germany offers a reward of one million euros for information about the Berlin power cable attack
Three weeks ago, an attack on the electricity network in Berlin caused a power outage for 45,000 homes for several days. Now, authorities have announced a reward of one million euros for information leading to the suspects.
Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD) confirmed that the federal government is offering this reward for any information related to the suspected attack by left-wing extremists on the electricity grid in Berlin. She made the statement during a session of the Interior Committee in the House of Representatives.
Spranger emphasized that the value of the reward and the circumstances make this an 'extraordinary event.' She also confirmed that the incident is treated as a terrorist act.
Authorities are seeking accurate information that could help identify those responsible and hold them accountable for deliberately disrupting the city's electricity supply. The outage has affected thousands of homes, highlighting vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.
The senator's statement reflects the seriousness of the German authorities in dealing with the investigation, by combining security and legal measures to ensure accountability for the perpetrators.
