Raid in Saxony: Terror group combined patriots in their sights!

In Saxony, the authorities currently have a hot iron in the fire: several apartments have been searched because the alleged right -wing terrorist group "United Patriots" is suspected of pursuing a dangerous agenda. According to mdr , the raids took place in cities such as Dresden, Görlitz and Leipzig as well as in the Erzgebirgskreis and in the Vogtland. The Attorney General Dresden has taken over the proceedings from the Federal Prosecutor's Office and is now taking advantage of five men between the ages of 47 and 77.

A 47-year-old who joined the group in December 2021, as well as a 57-year-old who is suspected of supporting the group are particularly the focus of the investigators. The other three men are accused of knowing about the overthrow plans, but not having displayed them. What exactly is these far -reaching plans?

plans of a terrorist association

The "United Patriots" had not only planned the government's dismissal, but also the kidnapping of Health Minister Karl Lauterbach. In order to achieve this, an actor should appear as President or Federal Chancellor and exclude the Federal Government's deduction. Attacks with explosives to destroy the power supply were also part of the grotesque as grotesques as well as dangerous plans. As the Higher Regional Court (OLG) Koblenz now confirmed, the group was classified as a terrorist association in accordance with Section 129a of the Criminal Code. This reports LTO .

The negotiation for these allegations had already started on May 17, 2023 and dragged on for almost two years. A total of 106 trial days were required in which 38 witnesses were heard, including experts from various authorities. Last March, four ringleaders of the "United Patriots" were sentenced to an imprisonment of up to eight years-a 77-year-old woman received a penalty of two years and ten months. But the judgments are not yet final.

intervention of the authorities

The official intervention shows how serious the situation is. A hidden investigator played a key role by offering weapons to buy and thus enabling the suspect. This is in the context of further investigations, which also the overthrow plans of another group under Heinrich XIII. Affect Prince Reuss, who also strived for after a change of power.

The situation remains tense because further processes against relatives and supporters of the "United Patriots" are in the Mach. The authorities are required not only to recognize the current threats, but also to keep an eye on possible future dangers, because as I said, there is something.
