The major raid against a suspected terrorist group in the “Reichsbürger” scene is likely to result in a number of police operations. So far, 25 people have been arrested in the raid. 22 of them are accused of being members of a terrorist organization that wanted to overthrow the political system three others are concerned with supporting the movement.According to the information, all but one Russian have German citizenship.
The President of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), Holger Münch, named the number of 54 suspects on Wednesday evening in the ZDF “heute journal” and spoke of more than 150 searches. He assumed further suspects and searches in the next few days. Weapons were also found in around 50 objects.
The Interior Committee of the Bundestag had been informed that two long guns, a handgun, swords and crossbows, alarm guns and signal guns had been found during the raid. These were only partially found among suspected members of the group who have a gun license. According to reports, service weapons were also among them.
In the ARD “Morgenmagazin” BKA boss Münch spoke out in favor of a more detailed examination of security forces: One must be able to rely on “that everyone is fully behind the free democratic basic order”. The President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, made a similar statement in the ARD “Tagesthemen”. All individuals inducted into federal and state security agencies should be screened.
There have been security checks of this kind in the BKA for a long time, said Münch. This is now also common in many state police forces. “And I think that where it is not yet done, we will introduce it in the foreseeable future.” The work is worthwhile because the authorities also made it clear what values they stand for.
A total of 25 people from the Reich citizen scene were arrested in the nationwide raid. Among them the nobility: Heinrich XIII. Prince Reuss has long been known as a Reich citizen and was destined to become head of state.
The government introduces citizen income and thus abolishes the Hartz IV system. Civil servants benefit twice from the salary adjustment. They receive higher salaries and higher pensions. And other civil servants will also benefit from the salary increase.
