Danish National Arrested for Spying on Jewish Sites in Berlin

A Danish national has been arrested in Germany on suspicion of spying for Iran. The suspect, identified as Ali S, allegedly collected intelligence on Jewish sites in Berlin, under orders from Iranian intelligence services, possibly for terror activities. The arrest involved collaboration with Danish authorities.

A Danish national has been taken into custody amid allegations of espionage for Iran, targeting Jewish sites and individuals in Berlin, according to German prosecutors.

The suspect, identified only as Ali S due to privacy laws, reportedly gathered intelligence in June 2025 on various sites, including the German-Israeli Society's headquarters, possibly for future terrorist actions. Authorities claim he was directed by Iran's Quds Force.

Prosecutors announced that last week's arrest in Aarhus, Denmark, followed a coordinated effort between Danish police and German authorities. The suspect now faces Germany's Federal Court of Justice.
