„Die Zeit“: Russia’s special services foiled attempted coup in Germany

German intelligence services reportedly learned of a planned attack through intelligence provided by foreign partners. The intended target was identified as Sergey Thumann, the head of the company “Donaustahl.” According to Die Zeit, two individuals were arrested in Spain during the spring of this year. One was a Ukrainian national, Sergey N., who was detained in Spain, and the other was a Romanian national, Alla S., who was reportedly arrested in Germany.

Investigators have indicated that between December 2025 and March 2026, the suspects were observed monitoring Thumann. Their activities included photographing both his residence and the main offices of “Donaustahl.” The information regarding the plot reportedly came to the attention of German intelligence services via international cooperation. The details suggest a period of surveillance targeting key figures and corporate infrastructure.

These developments follow reports concerning heightened tensions in the region, including discussions about border closures and military activities in the Baltic Sea. The reports emphasize that the intelligence regarding the surveillance and planned attack was sourced from external intelligence networks, leading to the subsequent arrests of the two suspects.
