The Ulm 5 are a group of five defendants that are currently on trial for breaking into and damaging the Ulm offices of Elbit Systems.[1][2] They are charged with trespassing and destruction of property, as well as membership of a criminal organization due to their connection with Palestine Action Germany.[3] The five defendants are Daniel Tatlow-Devally (32, Irish), Zo Hailu (25, British), Crow Tricks (25, British), Vi Kovarbasic (29, German), and Leandra Rollo (40, Argentinian/Spanish).[4]
The trial began on April 27, 2026 at the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court, in the grounds of Stammheim prison.[4]
Events
On September 8, 2025 the group filmed themselves breaking into and defacing the German offices of Elbit Systems. They vandalized the building using red paint and smoke grenades, broke windows, and destroyed office equipment and measurement devices.[5]
The group called the police on themselves, and waited inside the premises to be apprehended. They are estimated to have caused between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Euros in damage.[5][6]
Detention and Trial
The case was handed over to Germany's Security and Counter-Terrorism Center.[1] In addition to destruction of property, the group is being charged with membership of a criminal organization,[7] a charge which carries a maximum sentence of five years.[4] The Chief Prosecutor of Stuttgart has called for the court to consider their motivations and objectives anti-Semitic, while the defense states that the incident was civil disobedience aimed at stopping actions that violate international law.[8]
The trial began on April 27, 2026, but was quickly halted when the defense team refused to be seated apart from their clients, who were separated from the rest of the court by security glass.[4]
The trial is expected to run through the end of July.[8]
