German ‘Reichsbuerger’ suspect on trial for police murder
A 49-year-old German suspected of belonging to the shadowy far-right “Reichsbuerger” movement denies a charge of murder as he goes on trial for shooting a policeman during an early-morning raid on his house.
Speaking through his lawyer, Wolfgang Plan tells the court in the Bavarian city of Nuremberg that he never intended to kill anyone.
Plan also denies being affiliated with the Reichsbuerger or “Citizens of the Reich” movement, whose members include neo-Nazis, conspiracy theorists and gun enthusiasts who reject the legitimacy of the modern German republic.
