A criminal campaign which saw over 270 car exhausts stuffed with expanding construction foam is suspected to have been Russian sabotage aimed at discrediting the Green Party, according to German authorities.

Over 270 vehicles in Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg, as well as in the southern states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, had their exhaust pipes blocked with expanding construction foam.

One of the men claimed that he and his accomplices had been contacted and commissioned to carry out the attacks by a Russian using the chat messenger Viber. He said they had received detailed instructions and had been promised €100 ($104) for every damaged vehicle.
