Slovak police said a man detained in Germany over a suspected arson plot against a drone factory had been transferred to Slovakia, according to Nový Čas and SME.
The suspected plan concerned a factory in Haniska in eastern Slovakia. The reports described an intended attack rather than a completed fire at the facility.
Slovak police leaders said German authorities handed over the suspect on Thursday evening and that a court would decide whether he should be remanded in custody.
The reports did not provide evidence of damage, injuries or a fire at the factory. They also did not establish a court finding of guilt or disclose the full evidence supporting the allegation.
The case involves cooperation between German and Slovak authorities investigating a potential attack on industrial premises linked to drone technology.
Further information on the suspect's alleged motive, associates and any connection to wider sabotage campaigns was not established in the provided sources.
