Germany Offers One Million Euro Reward for Power Outage Saboteurs

The German government is offering a one million euro reward for information leading to the identification of those responsible for the sabotage of the power grid in Berlin, which resulted in a five-day blackout for tens of thousands of households. The far-left organization Vulkan has claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities have yet to gather any evidence regarding the perpetrators. The amount of the reward underscores the seriousness of the incident and the criticism the government has faced for its inability to protect critical infrastructure. Previous bounties for similar crimes were significantly lower.
