Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBERLIN — German authorities say they have carried out raids on suspected members of a potentially violent far-right group.
Federal prosecutors say the apartments of six suspects and four other people who aren’t suspects were searched on Tuesday. The raids took place in four German states.
The suspects are alleged to have founded a group called “Storm Brigade” last year as a sub-organization of an outfit called “Wolf Brigade.” Prosecutors say in a statement that the group’s stated aim is the “reinvigoration of a free fatherland” in accordance with a “Teutonic moral law,” and that they suspect it may be prepared to use violence.
Prosecutors say the aim of Tuesday’s raids was to gather more evidence and determine whether the suspects had weapons.
