A group from Serbia was provoking riots in France and Germany on the orders of the Russian intelligence service, according to the verdicts of the Higher Court in Smederevo that Radio Free Europe (RFE) had access to.
Three Serbian citizens were convicted of espionage and racial discrimination, that is, several incidents that were organized in Paris and Berlin in the spring and summer of 2025.
MOSCOW PAID SERBIAN CITIZENS TO PROVOKE RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN FRANCE AND GERMANY
Along with eight other suspects from Serbia, they were arrested at the end of September 2025, and almost four months later the three of them reached plea agreements and received sentences ranging from six months to a year and a half of house arrest.
The verdicts do not specify exactly how many members this group had, and all the names of the other suspects are hidden in the documents.
The group was, as stated in the verdicts, organized by a Serbian citizen whose name is also hidden, and he is mentioned as an organizer along with an “NN person under the nickname Hunter.”
There are no details about “Hunter” in the documents of the Higher Court in Smederevo.
The verdicts delivered to RFE state that the actions of this group were directed at the Jewish and Muslim religious communities, and that they received orders, instructions and money for the actions from the “structures of the intelligence service of the Russian Federation.”
Among other things, the group is responsible for pouring green paint on the Holocaust Museum and three synagogues in Paris, as well as for leaving pig heads in front of nine mosques in that city.
In the center of Berlin, near the memorial complex dedicated to the murdered Jews, they placed plastic skeletons.
The goal, as stated in the verdicts, was “to incite religious and national intolerance,” especially between the Jewish and Muslim communities, and the “destabilization of the situation” in Germany and France.
In addition to paid travel expenses, the members of the group were promised that they would receive money for each completed “job”: 500, 1,000 or 1,500 euros.
