In a large-scale operation against armed Reich citizens, special police forces struck simultaneously in eleven federal states in Germany on Wednesday. More than 130 apartments, offices and storage rooms have been and are being searched. Investigated because of the membership or support of a terrorist organization from the “Reichsbürger” milieu. 52 people are accused. According to “Spiegel” information, 25 men and women have already been arrested on behalf of the Federal Public Prosecutor and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA).
Coordinated by the BKA state security department, more than 3,000 police officers moved out in the early hours of the morning. The campaign focused on Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Saxony, Hesse and Thuringia. However, officials were also deployed in Austria and Italy.
According to the investigators, the suspected right-wing terrorist group has been planning an armed attack on the Bundestag and the arrest of politicians since November 2021. The accused therefore assumed that unrest would break out and there would have been an “overthrow” in Germany.
