Police raided suspected members of a right-wing extremist criminal group.
The emergency services searched 14 apartments and buildings in Schleswig-Holstein, Baden-Württemberg, Berlin and Hesse, as announced by the public prosecutor's office and the police in Berlin.
During the searches, the officers confiscated firearms, alarm weapons, ammunition, cutting and stabbing weapons, data carriers, devotional objects from the "Berserker Clan" association, as well as narcotics and doping substances.
According to the investigators, the investigations are directed against 15 suspects, the main suspect and alleged ringleader lives in Berlin.
In the communication between the accused, the preparation for a "day X" played a role again and again, "which is supposed to mean an armed uprising against the existing structures in Germany."
There was also some talk of firearms.
The investigation continued.
Accordingly, the evidence seized during the raids should now be evaluated and forensically examined.
The accused are accused of membership and ringleadership in a criminal organization with a right-wing extremist background.
130 police officers and a public prosecutor were on duty.
