In the investigation of the attack on Berlin’s power supply, authorities appear to have obtained new leads that may point to tangible evidence. A spokesperson for the Federal Ministry of the Interior told “Bild”‘s Wednesday edition that a one‑million‑Euro reward for identifying the perpetrators of the attack on Berlin’s energy infrastructure has generated several hundred tips from the public. “Every tip is being examined. Some leads are currently being pursued more intensively. The investigations are ongoing, and the BKA and domestic intelligence are working together to uncover the truth” the spokesperson said.
Specialists from the BKA and domestic intelligence are presently cross‑referencing these new statements with crime‑scene profiles from previous years. In addition to the 2024 attack on the Tesla factory in Grünheide, particular attention is on the 2021 S-Bahn cable attack in Pankow and the 2018 substation attack in Charlottenburg. Whereas the so‑called “Vulkangruppe” had left almost no forensic footprints for years, the current witness reports seem to offer, for the first time, promising investigative leads, according to sources familiar with the case.
