After the suicide of the Austrian doctor Lisa-Maria Kellermayr, who was threatened by opponents of the corona measures, traces are also being followed in Germany.
"There is an investigation against a male person from Upper Bavaria," confirmed a spokesman for the Munich II public prosecutor's office on Tuesday.
The doctor had been strongly committed to corona vaccinations and, according to her own statements, had been put under massive pressure by opponents of vaccination for months.
It was announced on Friday that she had been found dead in her practice in Upper Austria.
The man from Upper Bavaria who is now in focus is suspected of having threatened the 36-year-old doctor in emails with torture and murder.
In addition, the public prosecutor's office in Wels also reported a suspect to the public prosecutor's office in Berlin.
A suspicion leads to the right-wing extremist scene in Germany.
The Austrian Directorate for State Protection and Intelligence (DSN) is also investigating the case.
