German police in Bavaria have arrested three suspected members of the far-right Reichsbürger movement, who are accused of plotting to violently overthrow the country’s constitutional order. The arrests were part of a coordinated operation that took place during early-morning raids in three states, underscoring the authorities’ commitment to dismantling extremist networks within the region.
The Reichsbürger movement is known for its anti-government stance, often promoting the idea that the current German government is illegitimate. The detained individuals are alleged to have been planning to incite violence to establish a new, so-called ‘true’ government. These arrests follow increased scrutiny of far-right groups in Germany, as law enforcement agencies work to prevent potential threats to national security.
Authorities have not yet provided detailed information about the alleged plans or the extent of the network’s operations. However, the arrests signal a growing focus on counter-terrorism and extremism within Bavaria. The government has emphasized the need for vigilance against groups that seek to destabilize the country’s political and social order.
