According to CNN, the U.S. and Germany foiled a Russian assassination attempt on Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger this year. U.S. intelligence agencies informed German authorities about the plot, who then took action on Papperger's behalf, the U.S. news channel reported on Thursday, citing several official sources. Russia is said to have planned the attack on Papperger because of the German arms manufacturer's deliveries to Ukraine.
The CNN report went on to say that Moscow had planned a series of assassinations of European arms industry executives who were assisting Ukraine in its war against Russian invading forces. However, the plan to assassinate the head of Rheinmetall was the most advanced.

I find it amusing that there are people who are denying this, as though Russia under Putin doesn't have a history of this very thing, and even has even done it to Russian citizens multiple times. It's like denying that a person who has been arrested for drunk driving multiple times, was again arrested for drunk driving. It's not at all that shocking.

Not surprising in the slightest. Glad it was stopped for now.

As if that’s any surprise to anyone but the slow moving pacifists in Central Europe

It's not easy to forget what happened to Prigozhin and Navalny, and what could but didn't happen to Zelensky several times.

That Mosco old man who worked in the KGB was pretty good at his former job, huh?

Why would the ceo make any difference. Has anyone ever worked for a large corporation. I think with modern business culture this would have no affect on anything
