Very limited public comment by the cops and authorities over the weekend. Other than talking over the four raids conducted (Frankfurt, Wiesbaden Offenbach, and Mainz), nothing else. The anticipated target? That has yet to be mentioned either. The apparent trigger for the cop raids? They’d gone to rent the van for the operation.
Just a humble view, this was planned out way before the NZ episode occurred and nothing to do with it. Also one other noticeable item not in any public statement...residency and citizenship are not discussed. Although two of the members of the arrested group are German citizens (they may be dual citizens but that part has yet to be told).
You are probably correct but knowing the yoops (my term for europeans) they’ll make some excuse for the plotters.
