BERLIN (Reuters) -A Danish national has been arrested on suspicion of spying for Iran, with the aim of collecting information on Jewish sites and individuals in Berlin, said German prosecutors on Tuesday.

Prosecutors said the man, who they named as only Ali S under German privacy law, spied on three properties in June 2025 in preparation for further intelligence activities, including possibly terrorist attacks on Jewish targets.
