STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSBERLIN - German prosecutors said on Monday they searched the home of two pro-Kremlin activists under suspicion that they violated a law that regulates the production and transfer of war weapons.
Reuters reported in January that Schlund and Kolbasnikova donated funds collected from supporters in Germany to a Russian army division fighting in Ukraine, and the money was used to purchase walkie-talkie radios, headphones and telephones. Ulf Willuhn, a representative of the Cologne public prosecutors, confirmed on Monday the raid was conducted over suspicions of a violation of the War Weapons Control Act, but denied it was connected to their aid for Donbas in eastern Ukraine. Willuhn declined to comment further on the investigation.
One of Kolbasnikova and Schlund's supporters wrote in a Telegram chat on Monday that the police"smashed" into the couple's apartment and injured Schlund during their search. Willuhn said he was not aware of Schlund's injuries and could not comment.
