The investigation begun in Germany on the case of a German lieutenant detained earlier suspected of preparing a serious crime has already split the German Defense Ministry.

As RT writes, the serviceman of Franco A. Was detained by law enforcement agencies in late April after he tried to hide weapons at the Vienna International Airport, which is Austria's busiest airport. According to the investigation, the suspect wanted to pretend to be an Arab refugee and commit an act of terrorism. It also turned out that he was registered as a Syrian refugee in the Bavarian city of Gisen. N'mou was granted asylum, housing was allocated and a grant was granted. At the same time, none of the officials who issued refugee status for Franco A. , Did not raise suspicions that the "refugee" does not speak Arabic.

Also, the investigation had evidence that the serviceman held to the extreme right-wing views. His nationalistic ideas he expounded in his master's thesis during his studies at the French military school of Saint-Cyr. Officers of the officer, on the contrary, argue that he did not express any radical ideas.

It is possible that the officers have a group of like-minded people. This is still considered a 24-year-old student, suspected of aiding Franco and xenophobic beliefs. During the search, the student was found objects that fall under the law on weapons, on arms control and on explosives. During searches in other places where a detained officer once visited, things with Nazi symbols were found, as well as a list of potential victims that he led.

The case of Franco is the prosecutor's office of Hessen, the federal criminal police department and the military counterintelligence service. The German Defense Ministry, Ursula von der Lien, took the investigation under her personal control and, according to rumors, even canceled her visit to the United States because of this. Since the investigation has reason to believe that the commanders of the officer were aware of his extreme right-wing views, but preferred to conceal it, the defense minister criticized the existing order in the army. Ursula von der Leyen issued a rather tough statement, accusing the Bundeswehr command of weakness and a "misunderstanding of the corporate spirit".

The military did not stay in debt, accused their minister of trying to distance himself from the scandalous plot in order to save his political career. According to Hans-Peter Bartels, the commissioner for the military affairs of the Bundestag, "if von der Layen states that there are problems in the management, it is worth recalling that the leadership begins at the very top". An attempt to disown the problems was called by the statements of the Minister of the Chairman of the German Armed Forces Association Andre Wustner.
