Martin S., a German-Polish man, was arrested in Dortmund, Germany, for attempting to orchestrate attacks against politicians and other public figures. The federal prosecutor announced that the suspect had requested, starting from June 2025, on the darknet, for attacks to be carried out, publishing the names of potential targets and disseminating instructions for making explosive devices.

He also requested contributions in cryptocurrency to pay bounties for assassinations. The motivations of Martin S. and whether he acted alone or with accomplices have not been specified by the authorities. Germany has recently had cases of far-right conspiracy plots, including a group that prepared a coup, highlighting concerns related to violent extremism in the country.
