Thomas Haldenwang stated that a package fire at the DHL freight center in Leipzig, which could have led to a plane crash, was merely a "lucky coincidence". This incident, occurring in July, is being investigated for possible sabotage and is believed to be connected to Russian operatives. If the fire had ignited in the air, Haldenwang emphasized, it could have caused significant loss, including debris harming those sympathetic to Putin.
Haldenwang mentioned that security services are working under the assumption that the package fire incident is connected to Russian operations, though no suspects have been identified yet. He highlighted that the delayed status of the package played a crucial role in preventing a potential disaster that might have caused fatalities and impacted innocent bystanders on the ground.
In the hearing, Bruno Kahl remarked on the increasing risks posed by Russian intelligence, noting that Moscow's use of covert operations has escalated significantly. He warned that as tensions rise, further incidents resembling the Leipzig package fire are entirely possible, prompting urgent considerations for heightened security and vigilance against potential threats.
