Twenty-five people including a 71-year-old German aristocrat, a retired military commander and former MP for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) have been detained in Germany on suspicion of a terrorist plan to overthrow the state and renegotiate the country’s post-second world war settlement.

Thousands of police carried out a series of raids across Germany on Wednesday morning in connection with the far-right ring.


Federal prosecutors said 3,000 officers conducted searches at 130 sites in 11 of Germany’s 16 states against the group, whose members it said adhered to a “conglomerate of conspiracy theories” including the QAnon cult and the so-called Reich Citizens movement.

Prosecutors said 22 German citizens were detained on suspicion of “membership in a terrorist organisation”. Three other detainees, including a female Russian citizen, were suspected of supporting the organisation, they said.

Der Spiegel reported that locations searched included the barracks of Germany’s special forces unit KSK, in the south-western town of Calw. The unit has in the past been scrutinised over alleged far-right involvement by some soldiers. Federal prosecutors declined to confirm or deny that the barracks was searched.

Along with detentions in Germany, prosecutors said one person was detained in the Austrian town of Kitzbühel and another in Perugia in Italy.

I bet there are also links to the Tories who are funded by Putin?

And the leaders of the RMT are commies and followers of the Kremlin line on Ukraine. Putin has never cared about the politics of people who he uses - only in destabilising the West.

hmm it included a prince & special forces so is a little scary.

Federal prosecutors said 3,000 officers had conducted searches at 137 sites in 11 of Germany’s 16 states, including a palace in the state of Thuringia, and that 22 German citizens whad been detained on suspicion of “membership in a terrorist organisation”. Three other detainees, including a female Russian citizen, - reportedly Heinrich’s romantic partner – were suspected of supporting the organisation, they said.

“Everything will be turned upside down: the current public prosecutors and judges, as well as the heads of the health departments and their superiors will find themselves in the dock at Nuremberg 2.0,” one of the suspect said in a message posted on Telegram minutes before the start of Wednesday’s raids, Die Zeit reported.

While the suspects believed their aims could be achieved only by military means and with force, prosecutors said, it was unclear whether the group had managed to amass any serious kind of arsenal.

Several of the accused are former members of the military and are suspected of having illegally taken weapons out of the army’s stock during their years in service, while others hold arms licences.

22 involved, its a massive movement apparently. Lets hope the prosecutions are more effective than this lot!

Of more than 900 people who travelled to Syria and Iraq from the UK, an estimated half have returned but only around 40 were successfully prosecuted.

No imminent threat, mostly harmless. Got to keep the masses frightened somehow.

Going on since the 80s, ooooh far right racists in Germany who would have thunk it?

Regularly there are shoot outs in houses about this -they kept that quiet! Imagine if the EDF shot each other?
