The attack on the Borussia Dortmund football team led to the police pointing in various directions to underpin the reason for the assault. Initial leads pointed to radical Islam, and later, far-right sentiments were suggested to be the cause of the attack.
In the end, investigations made by the German police has pointed to an entirely new category.
On Friday, German police arrested a 28-year-old German-Russian national, who has been suspected to have carried out the explosives attack on Dortmund’s team bus to “collapse the club’s share price so he could profit from stock market speculation”.
