Der Spiegel: Sabotage of German Cars Linked to Russian Action

A recent investigation by Der Spiegel reveals that the sabotage of German cars is believed to be a Russian action aimed at influencing political views. The motive behind the act is speculated to be shifting blame to the Green Party and garnering support for the right-wing AFD, which is seen as more favorable to Russia.

Instances of sabotage include sealing car exhaust pipes with polyurethane foam and placing stickers on vehicles to create the impression of environmental activists' involvement.

The 'Russian' operation has been ongoing for some time, with reported incidents such as the vandalism in Schonefeld where individuals from former Eastern Bloc countries damaged 43 cars with foam and affixed stickers with the message 'Go Greener'.

Der Spiegel traced the operation back to Moscow, revealing that rather than employing professional spies, the Russians are using low-level agents who receive compensation for each damaged car. These individuals, described as 'low level agents', are reportedly paid 100 euros per car and are required to provide evidence of their actions to the orchestrators. The agents allegedly received a starting bonus of several thousand euros to initiate the campaign.

No arrests have been made in connection to the sabotage incidents as of yet.
