Climate activist in Flensburg accused of being part of a criminal group.
This allegedly focused on disrupting vital traffic and utility systems, primarily in Germany. They are also accused of recruiting members specifically for these acts. Investigations were conducted in Schleswig-Holstein, Bavaria, and Brandenburg.
A 32-year-old female suspect is said to have been part of a criminal organization and, according to the claims, actively interfered with a natural gas pipeline in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in May 2022. Here, she is said to have attempted to pause the oil flow along with others.
In Munich, Berlin, and Sylt airports, she is reported to have forced her way into the secured zones. In Munich, she allegedly assisted in apprehending accomplices on the runway. In Berlin and on Sylt, a plane was apparently sprayed with paint each time.
Additionally, the woman is charged with throwing paint-soaked tennis balls at the building of the Bavarian state parliament and causing damage to a golf course on Sylt. Through these actions, significant costs for repairs in the range of four to seven figures were incurred, according to the prosecutor's office. The resolution on the admissibility of the indictment and the initiation of the main proceedings rests with the Flensburg Regional Court.
Whether The Last Generation constitutes a criminal organization is a subject of ongoing legal disputes. In May, for the first time, five members of this group were charged in Brandenburg with the formation of a criminal organization.
The Last Generation issued a strong rebuke of the indictment from Flensburg on Wednesday. "Rather than silently accepting the greatest global catastrophe of our time, we have joined forces to raise our voices collectively," the group stated. "To obstruct our destruction - for that, we are being charged."
