There is a reward.
Update from 5:06 p.m
.: The AfD Hesse suspects a targeted attack.
She announces that the burned-out VW is the car of an AfD politician.
Owner Jürgen Hickethier is an assessor on the board of the AfD Kassel Land.
The AfD Hesse is offering 10,000 euros for information that leads to the capture of the perpetrators.
The reward will only be paid out to private individuals if the perpetrators are identified beyond doubt.
Andreas Lichert, co-state spokesman for the AfD Hesse, criticizes that parts of the media and some party and government representatives are waging a smear campaign.
This would encourage left-wing extremists to commit such acts.
