Borussia Dortmund bombs: 'Speculator' charged with bus attack

21 April 2017 Europe

Police in Germany have charged a man suspected of being behind an attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus.

Rather than having links to radical Islamism, he was a market trader hoping to make money if the price of shares in the team fell, prosecutors say.

The suspect has been charged with attempted murder, triggering explosions and causing serious physical injury.

He has been identified only as Sergej W, and was staying in the team's hotel overlooking the scene of the attack.

I'd heard statements that he was an Islamist extremist; then that he was a far-left extremist; then that he was a far-right extremist. But it seems that he was just high as a kite on that dangerous drug known as GREED.
