Probes into alleged wrongdoings - Police raid Muslim association in Braunschweig and Berlin.
Authorities conducted searches on Wednesday at the German-speaking Muslim community (DMG) in Braunschweig and various locations in Berlin. The Lower Saxony Interior Ministry's spokesperson informed that eight places were searched. The search operations in Berlin initially focused on two private residences, based on dpa's information.
The spokesperson stated that these actions aimed at enforcing a club ban. The ban prohibits the continuation of the club's activities by its former members and any person representing the blocked organization. The spokesperson declined to provide additional details, citing the ongoing search operations. North German Broadcasting Corporation and the "Spiegel" had earlier reported about the raids.
Further details on the raid and the club ban will be made available later in the day. The Interior Ministry had previously characterized the Braunschweig club as an outpost for Salafist preachers.
