Further arrest in connection with arms procurements for the foreign terrorist association HAMAS

The federal prosecutor’s office last night (27. May 2026) on the basis of a European arrest warrant issued by the investigating judge of the Federal Court of Justice of 22. May 2026

the Danish national Yousif C.

by way of legal assistance from officers of the Danish police near Copenhagen (Denmark) arrested.

The accused is the member of a foreign terrorist association (§ 129a para. 1 No. 1, § 129b para. 1 S. 1 and 2 StGB), the preparation of a serious act of violence at risk (§ 89a para. 1, para. 2 No. 1 and 2 StGB a. F.) and violations of the Weapons Act (§ 52 para. 1 No. 2 WaffG) urgently suspect.

In the arrest warrant, he is essentially charged with the following facts:

Yousif C. is a member of the terrorist organization HAMAS. In July 2025, he handed over to the separately prosecuted Abed Al G. (cf. Press Release No. 65 of 1. October 2025) five pistols and ammunition. Shortly thereafter, he handed over the firearms to the separately prosecuted Mohammed A. (cf. Press Release No. 69 of 6. November 2025) to continue transport to Vienna. The procedure was intended to prepare for Hamas assassination of Israeli or Jewish institutions in Germany and Europe.

The accused will be brought before the investigating judge of the Federal Court of Justice after his transfer to Germany. This will open the arrest warrant and decide on the execution of the pre-trial detention.

The post has lots of downvotes and almost not discussion on the content. OP: feel free to re-post it. I believe this has been very unfortunate! The content (now properly linked) deserves better acknowledgement from our community.

This is not about Europe, I will lock it. Usually, offtopic threads are removed.

There’s been reports for this link to be an ad… we’re allowing it nonetheless because the discussion is very rich (I, personally agree with many of the criticism that were done: products may not be socially or environmentally friendly, or even it may be better to support an European artist). The EU parliament is more like a tool, and sometimes it does work well. Oftentimes it just makes decisions that are not aligned with our values as a community. Nonetheless, the EU flag is nowadays an important symbol that’s being undermined by bigots and propaganda. That’s why I’ve been ignoring the reports of this as an ad. I believe the underlying message to be more important. And, as I said, the discussion here has brought very good points that I wouldn’t have thought so just by myself.

Best regards, anzo.
