Reich Citizen Raid against the Empire Group in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Investigators have searched the house of a alleged supporter of the Kaiserreichsgruppe in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The raid on the 54-year-old German from the Reich Citizens’ Milieu took place in the area of ​​Groß-Wokern in the Rostock district, as the Hamburg Attorney General announced on Monday.

According to the authorities, the so -called empire group, which was smashed in spring 2022, had planned a violent overthrow. It should be triggered by the kidnapping of the former Federal Minister of Health Karl Lauterbach (SPD) and attacks on the power supply. The aim of the group was the establishment of an authoritarian form of government based on the model of the German Empire, which was lost in 1918. Therefore, the name comes.

There have already been several processes nationwide against members and supporters. The ringleaders of the group, which was also known under the self -designation “United Patriots”, were sentenced to prison for up to eight years in Koblenz in Koblenz. Further processes ran in Munich and Hamburg.

According to the General Prosecutor’s Office, the accused is said to have participated in the meeting and declared the willingness to participate in a citing. He is therefore accused of supporting a terrorist association and aid to prepare a highly traitual company.

The Hamburg investigators did not share details about the search, so the suspect remained at large. The judiciary in the Hanseatic city also takes over state protection proceedings in Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen and Schleswig-Holstein. This has been agreed among the federal states.
