www.dw.com – German far-right coup plot trial to begin
The first of three trials linked to a far-right coup plot begins in Germany on Monday, with the defendants accused of preparing to commit high treason and belonging to a terrorist organization.
All the suspects, part of the so-called “Reichsbürger” movement, were allegedly plotting to overthrow the German government. The Reichsbürger, or “citizens of the Reich,” reject Germany’s post-war state, claiming it was installed and controlled by the Allied powers who won World War II.
