A man, arrested in the southern German state of Bavaria with weapons and explosives in his car last November, went on trial on Friday in a court in Munich.

The 51-year-old man, who was caught during a routine check in Bavaria a few days before the Paris attacks last November, admitted that he knew he had a large amount of Kalashnikovs, hand grenades and explosives in his car, but he denied helping to prepare a terror attack.

According to the defendant, he did not know what those weapons were intended for.

So far, there has been no direct evidence to prove that there is a link between the attacks and the defendant from Montenegro.

His trial will last a week. If convicted, he faces a sentence between three years and nine months and four years and three months in jail.

At least 129 people were killed and more than 300 others were injured in the Paris terror attacks on Nov. 13, 2015.
