The federal prosecutor has filed charges against three suspected members of the left-wing extremist Turkish organization DHKP-C.
The authorities in Karlsruhe announced that the Turkish woman, the Turk and the German were accused of membership in a foreign terrorist organization.
The two men and the woman were arrested in May and are in custody.
The DHKP-C has set itself the goal of eliminating the Turkish state through "armed struggle" and replacing it with a Marxist-Leninist regime under its control, the federal prosecutor said.
You have carried out numerous attacks in Turkey.
The foreign organization in Europe serves as a safe retreat.
She supports the financing of terrorist activities and the procurement of weapons.
In addition, fighters would be recruited and trained here.
The woman, Özgül E., is said to have been the “Germany manager” of the organization from 2017.
The federal prosecutor said she coordinated the procurement of funds and the organization of events.
In addition, she is said to have helped to obtain forged papers and helped open up smuggling opportunities.
The German Serkan K. is said to have been "regional manager" in the northern area and the Turk Ihsan C. responsible for southern Germany.
The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court will now decide whether to allow the indictment.
