BERLIN — German federal prosecutors have arrested a man suspected of spying for a Russian intelligence service and scouting potential sabotage targets, authorities said Wednesday.

The suspect, identified as Sergej K., a Kazakh national, was detained Tuesday in Berlin by officers from the German Federal Criminal Police Office on a warrant, according to the federal prosecutor’s office.  

Prosecutors allege the man had been in contact with a Russian intelligence handler since at least May 2025, transmitting a range of sensitive information from within Germany.
