(Reuters) A Danish national has been arrested in Denmark on suspicion of spying for Iran by collecting information on Jewish sites and individuals in Berlin, and will be extradited to Germany, German and Danish authorities said on Tuesday.
German prosecutors said the man, who they named as only Ali S under German privacy law, spied on three properties in June in preparation for further intelligence activities, including possibly attacks on Jewish targets.
He is suspected of having received his orders from Iranian intelligence services in early 2025, prosecutors said.
Germany’s foreign ministry said the Iranian ambassador had been summoned on Tuesday.
