Overview
- Slovakia’s Bureau for Combating Organized Crime says it intercepted a plotted arson against a UAV production plant in eastern Slovakia and has charged three foreign suspects.
- Two suspects were detained in Slovakia and a third was arrested in Germany under cooperation with German authorities.
- Investigators seized a large amount of combustible mixture described as a homemade form of napalm, plus tools, mobile phones, a mini action camera and a hand-drawn map of the site.
- Police warned that more than 70 staff could have been on site and that the production shop’s value runs into tens of millions of euros, meaning the attack risked human casualties and major economic loss.
- Authorities say the plot was contracted by a third party, the probe is ongoing, and officials have said they will release further details as investigations and cross-border legal steps proceed.
