Extremism: Suspicion of terrorism Castrop-Rauxel: A suspect released

After two arrests on suspicion of terrorism in Castrop-Rauxel, one of the two men is free again.

According to the Düsseldorf public prosecutor's office, the Dortmund district court currently sees no urgent suspicion against either of the two Iranians and has lifted the arrest warrant against the 32-year-old. The mirror had previously reported on the release from prison.

"The investigations are of course continuing," said senior public prosecutor Holger Heming of the German Press Agency. The spokesman did not want to comment on possible legal remedies after the decision of the district court for the time being. The Attorney General accuses the two of conspiring to commit a crime.

The investigators accuse the men between the ages of 32 and 25 arrested on the night of January 8 of trying to get cyanide and ricin to murder people. The toxins were not found, but according to North Rhine-Westphalia's Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU), "small amounts of chemical and biological substances". The trial date for the younger brother has not yet been completed.
