Danish National Extradited for Iran-Linked Espionage in Germany
A Danish national, referred to as Ali S, has been arrested on suspicion of spying for Iran by gathering intelligence on Jewish sites in Berlin. Authorities claim Ali S was directed by Iranian intelligence, and the case highlights concerns over Iran's threat to Jewish communities globally.
A Danish national, identified only as Ali S, faces extradition to Germany on suspicions of espionage activities linked to Iran, according to statements from German and Danish authorities on Tuesday.
German prosecutors allege that Ali S collected intelligence on Jewish sites in Berlin, including the German-Israeli Society's headquarters and the residence of the Central Council of Jews in Germany's president. This intelligence gathering occurred in June and may have been preparatory steps for potential attacks.
The case has stirred reactions from several officials, with the German Foreign Minister calling it an alarming instance of Iran's global threat to Jews. The Iranian embassy criticized the accusations as distracting tactics from Israel's actions against Iran.
