Police questioned four suspects. One admitted that they were hired by a Russian and that they received instructions via a mobile phone application from ...
The damaged vehicles often had stickers with the image of the Greens’ candidate for chancellor, as well as the slogan “Be greener!”. That’s why investigators initially assumed that climate activists or Greens supporters were behind the foam attacks.
I don’t get why they would assume the attackers were Greens supporters when it was cars with stickers supporting the Greens that were being damaged?
edit: Yes, the phrasing of the quote I included in this post did give me the idea that they were targeting cars that already had bumper stickers supporting the Green candidate.
It’s translated as be greener which can be seen as an endorsement but the way it’s written in the original german is rather accusatory. The stickers are also ugly and have a smug image of the green candidate.

The saboteurs also put those stickers there.

Thanks
Is this a genuine question?
I assume the people who damaged the vehicles were also the ones who put the stickers on the car, or atleast that’s what the investigators assumed.
The stickers were placed by the attackers.

I too was confused by the phrasing of the article.
