U.S. intelligence agencies discovered a Russian-linked plot to assassinate Armin Papperger, the CEO of German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall, CNN reported on July 11, citing intelligence sources.
The U.S. then shared the intel with their German counterparts, who "were then able to protect Papperger and foil the plot," CNN said.
Rheinmetall provides weapons and equipment to Ukraine under contracts with the German government, such as Leopard 1 tanks, mortar shells, and drone surveillance systems. The company has already opened one plant in Ukraine, and previously said it plans to open at least four production plants in the country in total.
CNN said that neither the Russian or German embassies in the U.S. responded to a request to for comment.
