The head of the Russian motorcycle club "Night Wolves", a branch in Germany, was for years a Bundeswehr soldier with Russian and German citizenship, Alexander Sutner, writes The Insider. Journalists draw this conclusion based on the published decision of the Military Disciplinary Court in Germany dated January 28, 2026 on the removal of a soldier from service in connection with unconstitutional activity. Sutner's name does not appear there, but he can be identified by details mentioned in the document, including Facebook posts. "Despite the disciplinary investigation opened against him, Sutner continued to manage the club's activities and maintain contacts with its Russian management," the investigation states. Suttner had served in the Bundeswehr since 2007, and his contract with the German army was due to expire in 2032.
