Germany charges alleged IRGC agent over plots against Jewish figures

German prosecutors charged a Danish national accused of working for an Iranian intelligence service and scouting Jewish figures in Germany for possible assassination and arson attacks, including Josef Schuster, head of Germany’s Central Council of Jews, and Volker Beck, a former lawmaker who heads the German-Israeli Society.

A second suspect, an Afghan national arrested in Denmark in November, was charged with attempted participation in murder.

Prosecutors said the Danish suspect was linked to the intelligence service of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and was in close contact with the Quds Force.
