Fifth Arrest in Czech Drone Factory Arson

0:00On March 30, prosecutors in Prague just announced a fifth arrest tied to that arson blaze at a check drone and optics factory back on March 20th. A pro-Palestinian group, no one's heard of before, claimed they did it to hit back at the company's supposed Israel links. Cops had already nabbed four others, ramping up the probe fast. Earlier this week, they grabbed a fourth suspect on Saturday after charging an Egyptian guy and a check woman with terrorism offenses. There's also a US citizen held over the border in Slovakia, connected to the fire. Now this latest one came Sunday, though details are slim so far. Suspects are pushing back hard. The Egyptian's lawyer dropped word of a solid alibi for the attack time, and court doc showed the Egyptian and Czech duo flat out deny any role. That fourth person told a judge they had zero part in anything shady. The target, LPP holding, builds drone ship to Ukraine amid their fight against Russia since the full invasion in 2022. They eyed a deal with Israel's elbit systems last year, but it never went through.
