During a large-scale raid in the vicinity of the Thuringian Nazi brotherhood »Turonen«, officials arrested seven men, including several neo-Nazis.
According to the public prosecutor's office in Gera, three of those arrested belong to the brotherhood, and two others are close to her.
The other two arrested would have done business with the Brotherhood.
Those arrested are accused of drug trafficking, money laundering and violation of the weapons law.
One person was arrested in Greece.
This was announced by the public prosecutor's office when asked by SPIEGEL.
The MDR reported first.
Anabolic steroids, an American patrol car and a Harley-Davidson were seized
The raid took place in Thuringia, Schleswig-Holstein and Berlin on Thursday morning.
According to the police, more than 500 officers were involved and searched a total of 26 objects.
The raid was still ongoing Thursday morning.
The investigation complex includes five investigations, which were directed against a total of ten suspects.
Among other things, cash, anabolic steroids, fake vaccination cards, an old American patrol car, cell phones with encryption software and a Harley-Davidson were seized, it said.
There had already been a raid in Thuringia's neo-Nazi environment in February, after which the public prosecutor's office brought charges against members of the »Turonen«.
