There is talk of a "race war", there is said to have been a "propaganda minister" and a 13-year-old allegedly became head of the "Gestapo": following the sensational arrest of a young group of suspected right-wing terrorists, a document from the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) makes it clear how closely the accused, some of whom were young, are said to have followed the National Socialists.
Suspected right-wing terror cell
In May, the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office had five people aged between 14 and 18 arrested in Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg. The authorities accuse them of membership - and in one case support - of a right-wing extremist terrorist organization. The charges also include attempted murder and attempted arson resulting in death. The police also searched properties in Saxony and Thuringia.
The investigation concerns a suspected right-wing extremist terrorist group called "Letzte Verteidigungswelle" (Last Wave of Defense). The group sees itself as the last resort in defense of the "German nation", according to the federal prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe. By attacking asylum shelters and left-wing institutions, they wanted to bring about the collapse of the democratic system of the Federal Republic of Germany.
