German police have arrested a 28-year-old man on suspicion
of last week’s bomb attack on Borussia Dortmund football club’s team bus.
The federal prosecutor’s office on Friday said the suspect
-- Sergej W., a German-Russian national -- is believed to have planned the
attack to make money in stocks, by benefiting from a sharp drop in the club’s
share price.
“He is therefore accused of attempted murder, causing an
explosion and grievous bodily harm,” prosecutors said.
The suspect stayed at team’s hotel on the day of the attack
on April 11 and reserved a room where he could clearly survey the area,
prosecutors added.
Three small explosions hit Borussia Dortmund’s team bus last
week, a few hours before a Champions League quarter-final in the northwestern
Germany city.
Dortmund player Marc Bartra was slightly injured in the
attack; the match between Borussia Dortmund and Monaco was rescheduled.
