Ex-politician and businessman Trinh Xuan Thanh was strolling through the park Berliner Tiergarten with his girlfriend when presumably agents of the Vietnamese secret service jumped out of a van and dragged the two inside. With the kidnapping on German grounds, they not only broke international law but also the arm of Thanh's lover. [...] The price for this operation was probably very high, both financially and diplomatically. The relations between Vietnam and Germany were suspended.
