Overview
- Investigators say the 24-year-old threw fist-sized stones at the Israeli Consulate in Munich in March, left a backpack and shouted "Allahu Akbar," actions they interpreted as indicating a possible explosive attack.
- Specialist police units sealed the area, used a robot to X-ray the abandoned backpack and found no explosive device, while the consulate facade suffered about €1,000 in damage.
- Officers arrested the suspect after he kicked and headbutted police during his detention; the officers were not injured and the man was first taken to hospital for acute danger to himself and others.
- Prosecutors filed a formal indictment on June 10 charging disturbance of the public peace, property damage and a particularly serious assault on police, and the Munich I Regional Court will now decide whether to send the case to trial.
- A psychiatric expert concluded the suspect has diminished criminal responsibility, which placed him in clinical care instead of continued jail detention and could affect legal outcome while raising questions about security at diplomatic missions.
