TRANSCRIPT OF VIDEO Begins

0:00
At least 25 people have been detained in
0:03
a series of overnight raids across
0:05
Germany over a plot to overthrow the
0:07
state by force. Some 3 000 police
0:10
officers were involved in searches of
0:12
more than 130 properties nationwide.
0:15
Authorities believe the suspects are
0:18
linked to a nationwide far-right network.
0:20
Among them are several former members of
0:22
the Armed Forces and at least one active
0:25
soldier.
0:28
We want this fast-moving story. Let's
0:30
bring in DW's political correspondent
0:32
Julius saudeli. Julia what more can you
0:34
tell us about these raids and about the
0:37
suspects that have been detained?
0:40
Yeah this was a very big operation that
0:42
took place in 11 of Germany States, but
0:46
also two people were arrested abroad, one
0:48
in Italy, one in Austria and we've seen
0:52
that 25 people have been arrested but
0:54
that there are a further 27 uh suspects
0:58
in the case suspected of also being part
1:00
of this uh what is being called a
1:03
terrorist Network and it is assumed that
1:05
this is one of the biggest
1:07
anti-terror operations in Germany since
1:10
World War II. Uh, the accused and the
1:14
suspects are seen to have been part of a
1:17
terrorist network that was seeking to
1:20
overthrow the Democratic order in
1:23
Germany, and the center of this network
1:27
seems to be
1:28
an entrepreneur from the city of
1:31
Frankfurt in Germany, who calls himself a
1:33
prince although it is only a symbolic uh
1:36
title but he owns a hunting lodge in
1:39
thirinja and he seems to have been the
1:41
man that was coordinating this network
1:43
and part of the network was apparently
1:46
also a former a member of the German
1:48
Parliament for the far-right afd party
1:51
who is currently an active judge in the
1:54
city of Berlin but also members of the
1:58
German Army and one member of the German
2:01
Special Forces
2:03
now the suspects apparently had a plan
2:06
to overthrow the German government by
2:08
force. How realistic are these or were
2:12
these threats?
2:14
Well the network seems to have formed at
2:17
the latest in November 2021 so last year
2:21
and the investigations into the network
2:24
started in the early months of of this
2:27
year after a tip came from the
2:30
intelligence services in the state of
2:32
Hessen especially regarding uh this uh
2:35
Prince Heinrich as he is called and it
2:39
seems like this network was actively
2:42
working to form almost like a shadow
2:45
cabinet and to arm itself to carry out
2:49
an armed attack against the bundestag
2:51
the German Parliament and actively
2:54
arrest politicians and then therefore
2:57
bring about a change in the government
3:00
order of of Germany basically carrying
3:03
out a coup and the group wanted to
3:06
change the the government of Germany
3:09
take power with the support of uh the
3:13
Russian Federation the prosecution has
3:16
said that the members of the network had
3:19
already tried to get in touch with the
3:21
representatives of Russia here in
3:22
Germany to try to facilitate this
3:24
process so we are talking of plants to
3:26
carry out a coup here.
3:28
Now the suspects are alleged members of
3:31
the so-called Reisberger scene tell us
3:33
more about that movement.
3:36
yeah Reisburger means a citizen of the
3:39
Reich of the German Empire, and this is a
3:42
group of people who believe that the
3:45
current Democratic order in Germany is
3:47
illegitimate that the Democratic order
3:49
that was established after the end of
3:52
World War II is illegitimate and that
3:54
the actual form of government that
3:56
should still be in place in Germany is
3:59
that of the German Empire and they have
4:02
often conflicts with authorities. They
4:04
refuse to pay taxes and
4:07
estimates are that around uh 21
4:11
000 people are a member are members of
4:14
this network they have gotten closer to
4:17
the anti-coronavirus protest movements
4:19
that took place in the last few years
4:21
taking over these protests but also
4:24
merging with the conspiracy theorists
4:27
that are also part of this movement and
4:29
they are also somewhat close to the Q
4:31
Anon movement that is quite a
4:35
significant especially online and and it
4:38
is a a movement that has been also
4:41
watched by authorities and police forces
4:44
here in Germany.
4:46
Our political correspondent Julia
4:47
