German prosecutors say a man suspected of gathering information on Jewish locations and individuals in Berlin for Iranian intelligence, possibly with a view to carrying out attacks, has been arrested in Denmark.

German authorities believe a special unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is behind the scouting operation.

Federal prosecutors said in a statement that the Danish national, identified only as Ali S in line with German privacy rules, was arrested on Thursday in the city of Aarhus. View on euronews
