What we know about the car vandalism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 270 vehicles in Berlin<\/a> and the surrounding state of Brandenburg<\/a>, as well as in the southern states of Bavaria<\/a> and Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg<\/a>, had their exhaust pipes blocked with expanding construction foam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stickers were then left on the damaged cars depicting Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck<\/a>, the Green Party\u2019s chancellor candidate in the upcoming federal election<\/a>, and bearing the message: \u201cBe greener!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors in the southern city of Ulm<\/a> also have four suspects in their sights. A police spokesman said four men \u2013 a German, a Serb, a Romanian and a Bosnian aged 17, 18, 20 and 29 \u2013 were suspected of 123 counts of vandalism, with tins of construction foam found during house searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the men claimed that he and his accomplices had been contacted and commissioned to carry out the attacks by a Russian using the chat messenger Viber. He said they had received detailed instructions and had been promised \u20ac100 ($104) for every damaged vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For once I believe the greens \u2013 the vehicle sabotage wasn\u2019t deadly enough to be an act of green activism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling the exhaust with expanding foam would simply stop the vehicle from starting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous green acts of sabotage have been far worse, mostly involving slow deflation of tires \u2013 a grave risk to the safety and lives of drivers who failed to notice their tires were losing pressure. Greens claimed they always left a flier explaining what they did \u2013 but even if this is true, is reading junk fliers really a priority when you are struggling to get to work, or get the kids to school? Especially if the flier was soaked by rain. It is a wonder that nobody died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
