Right-Concert - Police dispersed concert of far-right extremists

A concert of the far-right scene in an industrial area in Bopfingen, Ostalbkreis, was disbanded by the Police. Since performing musicians were assessed as right-wing extremist by the Constitutional Protection, the officers assumed that criminal offenses could occur, as the Aalen Police Headquarters announced. The performances of the bands were prohibited and an entry ban was declared.

In fact, the police found prohibited symbols among some of the 50 attendees from various federal states. The officers also discovered a violation of the Weapons Act. Overall, the disbanding of the concert proceeded peacefully, according to the police.

The concert disruption took place in the industrial area of Bopfingen, which falls under the Ostalbkreis region in Baden-Württemberg. The Constitutional Protection had previously classified some of the music performers as right-wing extremists, raising concerns about potential extremist activities and criminality. As a result, local police from Aalen intensified their surveillance and took necessary actions.
