The shots at SEK officials in Boxberg were not long ago.

Now it's been searched again.

It's a violation of the gun laws.

Boxberg - In the investigation into the case of a suspected "Reich citizen" who is said to have shot a police officer in Boxberg (Main-Tauber district), there was another police operation.

Among other things, the property where the man lived was searched, as the public prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe told the German Press Agency on Friday.

A total of seven people are being investigated, including two women.

In particular, it is about the suspicion of possible violations of the Weapons Act.

On April 20, a special task force (SEK) wanted to search a building in the Main-Tauber district.

It was about the suspicion of illegal possession of weapons.

According to the police, the 54-year-old suspect opened fire and injured a SEK officer.

According to information from security circles, a special task force and the customs investigation office were deployed again this time.

"As far as is known, the measures have so far taken place without any major incidents." The public prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe took over the proceedings from their colleagues in Mosbach.

It concerns weapons that are not directly related to the proceedings conducted by the Federal Public Prosecutor General against the alleged "Reich citizen".

Germany's top prosecutor is investigating the 54-year-old.

She is responsible because of the “special importance of the matter”.

The investigation continued, said a spokeswoman for the Attorney General.

The public prosecutor accuses the detainee, who is in custody, of attempted murder with bodily harm and illegal possession of a weapon of war.

He was assigned to the "Reichsbürger" scene.

Even before the police operation, the Baden-Württemberg State Office for the Protection of the Constitution had him in their sights.

The officers found weapons of war, ammunition and Nazi objects in his house.

In addition to the 54-year-old, six people - including two women and an adult child of the main suspect - were arrested on April 20, but they have since been released.
