"Reichsbürger" trial - Prince Reuß continues to testify before the Higher Regional Court
In the process regarding the "Reichsbürger" Group around Prince Heinrich XIII. Prinz Reuß, the accused prince has made statements about relationships within his extended family. "Basically, the family has always stayed together until now," he stated during an interrogation about his personal relationships before the Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt. However, there was a conflict with his eldest brother, as he had not been appointed, against expectations, to take care of the restitutions of the old family estate owners. Specifically, it was about regaining land, real estate, or even art objects in the new federal states after reunification.
Instead, the accused was supposed to take charge. Reuß found it hard to refuse this assignment. His motivation for the efforts to restore the family inheritance stemmed from a promise made to his father. From childhood, the lost family property had simply been a part of family life for us children. "For us children, it was always there emotionally." Economically, the decades-long efforts with the help of large law firms had not been calculated, and it had become a "horror story."
In the interrogations, it is currently not about the accusation points. The accused are first supposed to express themselves about their personal relationships, their biographies, and their financial and family situations.
In Frankfurt, nine defendants are accused of being members of a terrorist organization or of supporting it. It is alleged that a armed coup was planned. The defendants are reported to have knowingly put lives at risk, according to the indictment. Until the verdict, the defendants are assumed to be innocent. In addition to two further proceedings in Munich and Stuttgart, a total of 26 alleged conspirators must answer for their actions in this complex.
