The crime they might have committed usually doesn't even result in jail time, only fines. Hence why such long detention seems especially unjustified.
I don't know if the German press is held to different standards than the US press, but in the US this would set off red flags for me because it makes a very strong implication without explicitly stating it and provides no evidence for the implied connection.
