"An unnamed 'group of anarchists' claimed responsibility for the outage in a post on the far-left Indymedia online platform, saying they intended to 'turn off the energy for the military industrial complex' at a nearby technology park."
"Berlin's mayor, Kai Wegner, said that Tuesday's raids showed that 'the investigative pressure on the far-left perpetrators' of both attacks 'has been significantly stepped up'."
"German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt stated that authorities 'have been monitoring the far-left extremist scene very closely' since both blackouts and 'are taking consistent action against far-left extremist activities at all levels'."
"A total of 18 locations were searched in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and the eastern town of Kyritz, with mobile phones and laptops among the items seized by police."
Raids were conducted across Germany as part of an investigation into an arson attack that caused a blackout in Berlin. An unnamed anarchist group claimed responsibility for the attack, aiming to disrupt the military industrial complex. The blackout affected nearly 50,000 customers. A separate arson incident in January also caused significant outages. Authorities are increasing pressure on far-left extremists, with raids targeting specific suspects and locations. Items such as mobile phones and laptops were seized during the operation.
