Overview
- The Brandenburg prosecutor, who named two suspects Tuesday, said searches ran in two other states and that no arrests followed.
- Both men are acquaintances of Andreas Büttner and co-founded a small solar company with him in 2023 that never took on projects.
- Büttner said he was shocked and added that, if the two are the perpetrators, he does not believe the attack was antisemitic.
- In January, attackers set fire to a building on his Templin property, painted a red triangle like the Hamas sign on his door, and sent a threat letter to the state parliament.
- Prosecutors took over the case as a possible political crime and increased security at Büttner’s home, and he says he will continue his duties as antisemitism commissioner.
