Federal Prosecutor General Jens Rommel has taken over the investigation into the arson attack on the power supply of the Tesla factory in Grünheide, Brandenburg.

A spokeswoman for the Karlsruhe Federal Prosecutor's Office confirmed this to SPIEGEL.

There is, among other things, "initial suspicion of membership in a terrorist organization, unconstitutional sabotage and communal arson" against the previously unknown perpetrators.

The spokeswoman initially did not want to provide any further information.
