Third Trial Begins for Alleged Far-Right Coup Plotters in Germany

Eight defendants face charges of high treason and terrorism for planning to overthrow the government.

The trial in Munich is one of three related to a conspiracy by the 'Reichsbürger' group.
The group is accused of planning a violent coup and kidnapping government officials.
Prosecutors allege the plot involved storming the parliament and negotiating with Russia.
The defendants include individuals from diverse backgrounds, such as a GP and a celebrity chef.
The trials, including those in Frankfurt and Stuttgart, are expected to continue into 2025.
