Earlier today, we posted a Swedish translation of the reported charges against two Syrian brothers in Germany who were allegedly planning to blow up a Swedish church (with people inside).
Below is a press release from the Hamburg police explaining the latest charges. The translation is by Fousesquawk.

Police-Hamburg: 230523-5. Joint press release by BKA (Federal Criminal Police), Public Prosecutor Hamburg, and Hamburg Police- Further arrest warrant after foiled bomb attack and execution of arrest warrant in Kempten.
Based on suspicion of a planned explosive attack, the State Prosecutor's Office of Hamburg yesterday, in the course of a joint investigation of the BKA and KLA (State Police) Hamburg, carried out another arrest warrant and arrested a person in Kempten.
Arrested is the 24-year-old brother of the previously-arrested 28-year-old Syrian in April 2023 in Hamburg (See press release from BKA, LKA Hamburg, and State Prosecutor's Office Hamburg on April 25, 2023.)
There is now, according to the ongoing investigations, an urgent suspicion against the accused person, who resides in Kempton, earlier only suspected of aiding and abetting in the joint preparation of a serious endangerment of the State (Section 89c StGB) along with joint terror financing (Section 89c StGB-Criminal Code). According to the above, he is alleged to have not only encouraged his brother in his decision to commit the act (crime) and to have supported him in obtaining the necessary components for the production of explosives, but further, to have promised to carry out the attack with him. According to what is currently known, the accused persons had as their target, a church in Sweden, not further identified, in which people would have been present at the time.
The 24-year-old, who since April 25, 2023, has been in the custody of the Schwaben Police Southwest, was yesterday arrested by forces of the BKA and taken to Hamburg. The Hamburg court today executed the arrest warrant against him.
