The Dresden public prosecutor’s office has brought charges against a 45-year-old for his involvement in weapons smuggling into Germany. The Bosnian is said to have procured weapons and war weapons together with other gang members, transported them to Germany or through the federal territory and resold them. The public prosecutor’s office announced this on Thursday. The man was charged before the Dresden Regional Court on suspicion of violating the War Weapons Control Act.
In the case, a teenager who was 17 at the time of the crime and a 29-year-old at the time have already been legally convicted. In February 2019, the suspects from Bosnia-Herzegovina transported a large number of weapons, ammunition and weapons of war, including 95 hand grenades, four fully automatic rifles, eight semi-automatic handguns and ammunition across the German-Czech border into the Federal Republic.
