Why Germany investigates man released in prisoner swap with Russia | DW News

A German citizen who was freed in exchange for Russian agents in a prisoner swap earlier this month is now under investigation. German prosecutors are looking into allegations that the man — known as Rico K — was responsible for an explosion. He was among Western prisoners — along with the US reporter Evan Gershkovich — released earlier this month. He was sentenced to death in Belarus on terrorism charges, but later pardoned by its leader Alexander Lukashenko. Rico K was seen on Belarusian television apparently confessing to working for Ukrainian intelligence services. #russia #prisoner #germany Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1 For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/dwnews_hangout Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch
