Thousands of police officers have carried out a series of raids across much of Germany on Wednesday morning against suspected far-right extremists who allegedly sought to overthrow the state by force, according to the Attorney General at the Federal Court of Justice in Germany.
Federal prosecutors said some 3,000 officers conducted searches at 130 sites in 11 of Germany’s 16 states against adherents of the so-called Reich Citizens movement.
Prosecutors said 25 German citizens were detained on suspicion of « membership in a terrorist organization » and that the group, which was not identified in their statement announcing the raids, is alleged to have believed in a « conglomerate of conspiracy theories consisting of narratives from the so-called Reich Citizens as well as Q-Anon ideology, » according to a statement by prosecutors.
