Illegality [Illegal actions] - Hateful postings spark investigations in Hamburg as well.
Authorities have launched search operations across Germany to tackle individuals involved in hate-mongering and incitement on the internet. Over 70 locations were targeted, leading to the questioning of several suspects. Hamburg was one of the cities where police searched five apartments.
The investigations are said to be unrelated to each other and deal with allegations of promoting hatred, employing symbols of unlawful organizations, and expressing support for criminal offenses.
A 46-year-old German residing in Ohlsdorf, a 76-year-old from Hamm, and a 53-year-old from St. Pauli are suspected of propagating right-wing propaganda online. In the case of the 46-year-old from Ohlsdorf, law enforcement officers seized a machete, crossbow, and air rifle apart from data storage devices.
Also, an 18-year-old stateless individual from Bahrenfeld is accused of publishing images related to a forbidden foreign organization on social media. The Hamburg Police also searched the residence of a 46-year-old from Dulsberg, who is believed to approve of left-wing criminal activities over the internet.
