The man has been detained in the town of Arnsberg in western Germany. The investigation is centred on claims that he told several Syrian migrants in the accommodation that fear and terror would be spread in the French capital in the days before the Paris terror attacks, which left 129 people dead.
He also allegedly spoke about a bomb.
Werner Wolff, the senior public prosecutor in Arnsberg, confirmed the allegations were under investigation.
The Interior Minister for the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Ralf Jaeger, told the Union Times: “There is currently an investigation into whether the man is an accomplice or a confidant.”
