german police dismantled this Tuesday an alleged far-right terrorist organization who planned the seizure of the Bundestag and a subsequent coup. A total of 25 ultra-rightists were arrested in a macro-operation that has spread to Germany, Austria and Italy, of which 22 are suspected of having joined the aforementioned organization.
The group would be ideologically linked to the “Citizens of the Reich”a movement that rejects the legitimacy of the German federal republic based on conspiracy theories.
According to the current state of the investigations, the organization was made up of a kind of executive council and an armed wing, according to Peter Frank, the state attorney general. Thus, its objective would be “to destroy the constitutional democratic order in Germany through violence and military means.”
The council planned to assume the functions of the Government after the coup and included, among others, a former deputy from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party that she was going to become Minister of Justice.
The armed wing included at least three individuals who in the past had been members of the German armed forces (Bundeswehr), one of them a member of the Space Operations Command or KSK who had already stood out in the past for encouraging the far-right orientation of numerous troops.
Frank added that part of the detainees have already gone to court and that in several cases -among them that of the presumed leader of the organization, whom he identified as Heinrich KR- provisional detention has already been decreed.
According to the German media, the aforementioned ringleader is the aristocrat Henry XIIIPrince of Reuss, a businessman active in the real estate sector and known for spreading conspiracy and anti-Semitic theses, arrested at dawn on Wednesday at his home in Frankfurt.
According to the weekly “Der Spiegel”, the group, which began operating about a year ago, was a diverse group that included, among others, a chef, a pilot, a master roofer, a tenor and a doctor, and who was advised by two seers.
The prosecution has also indicated in a statement that the detainees – all of them of German nationality except for a Russian citizen – had tried to establish contacts with Russian diplomatic representations in Germany, although the Russian embassy in Berlin has denied any link with the organization.
