Four 'Reichsbürger' Members Indicted in Germany's Far-Right Coup Plot Investigation
The accused face charges of terrorism and high treason as part of the first indictments in the nationwide 'BAO Schatten' probe involving 58 suspects.
- Four individuals, including a chef, a singer, and a married couple, have been charged with membership in a terrorist organization and preparing a high treasonous act.
- The indictments, filed in Stuttgart, are the first in the broader 'BAO Schatten' investigation into the far-right 'Reichsbürger' network, which denies Germany's legitimacy.
- The accused held specific roles, such as planning logistics for a 'New German Army,' leading recruitment efforts, and organizing cultural activities for the group.
- Two of the accused are also facing charges for violating weapons laws during their involvement with the group.
- This development comes as trials against 27 alleged ringleaders of the 'Reichsbürger' group continue in Stuttgart, Munich, and Frankfurt.
