The search for Daniel V. for sabotage of the power grid continues

The police are still looking for Daniel V., who is suspected of several sabotage attacks on the power grid. According to F.A.Z. He is planning further attacks near Düsseldorf, on the Lower Rhine and in the Netherlands. He is said to have been scouting crime scenes for months. A suspicious person was reported during a police operation in Remscheid-Wuppertal. It is unclear whether it was V. The 48-year-old from Gevelsberg had sent letters of confession in which he described fossil power generation as a crime. During an attack on a substation in Bergheim, power plant blocks briefly failed, but there was no power outage. Investigators found his vehicle near the Hambach open-cast brown coal mine with evidence such as pyrotechnics and attack plans. There is no evidence that he is part of the left-wing extremist climate protection scene. Federal Interior Minister Dobrindt spoke of probable “climate terrorism” by a lone perpetrator.

Light procession in Florence after the femicide of Lorena I.

After Lorena I was murdered by her ex-partner Federico V in Florence, a parade of around 2,000 people marched to the victims' home. Mayor Sara Funaro organized the march, while the victim's father called for cross-party action against violence against women in a video. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her condolences and promised further fight against femicide. Federico V. chased the victims after they separated, tied them up, locked them in the trunk and finally pushed them off a motorway bridge. A police officer tried in vain to get him to give up before he jumped into the depths.
