German-Russian man arrested over staging Dortmund attack 'to make money'

Police have arrested a German-Russian national on Friday on suspicion of carrying out the attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus last week, with prosecutors alleging that the bombing was motivated by financial greed.

The football team's bus was targeted with three bombs after it left a hotel to take part in a Champions League quarter-final match. Defender Marc Bartra and a policeman were injured in the blasts, which saw the match postponed until the next day.

According to the Independent, the 28-year-old man, named only as Sergej W, had bought a put option on Borussia Dortmund's shares on the day of the attack, giving him the right to sell the shares for a specified price at a predetermined date.
