Two men arrested in Germany, Greece, and Romania are accused of sabotaging German naval corvettes in 2025.

Two men, a 37-year-old Romanian and a 54-year-old Greek national, were arrested in Hamburg and Greece on suspicion of sabotaging German naval corvettes in 2025. They allegedly dumped over 20 kilograms of abrasive grit into an engine block, damaged water lines, removed fuel caps, and disabled safety switches on a ship intended for the German Navy. The sabotage, discovered during pre-departure checks, could have caused serious delays or damage, threatening military readiness. Authorities from Germany, Greece, and Romania, with support from Eurojust, conducted coordinated searches at residences in multiple countries. Prosecutors are investigating whether the suspects were acting on orders, and the probe remains ongoing.
